Alexandra Park
Dunmore · 1.2 miles
A Victorian-era green space in north Belfast provides a formal landscape of tree-lined avenues and designated play areas for children. Managed by Belfast City Council, the park’s opening hours are listed publicly, allowing visitors to plan a visit at their convenience. Although the nearest town identified in mapping data is Dunmore, the site lies within the city’s northern districts, offering a typical 19th-century park setting for local families and walkers. The park is notable for a three-metre high wall that bisects the grounds, a feature described as unique within western Europe. Erected in 1994 as part of the city’s “peace walls,” the barrier was intended to reduce sectarian violence between Nationalist/Republican and Unionist/Loyalist communities. Its foundations were laid on 1 September 1994, coinciding with the first IRA ceasefire. Access to the northern section was originally limited to Antrim Road, while the southern part could only be reached from Shore Road. In September 2011 a gate was installed in the wall; during a three-month trial it operated on weekdays from 09:00 to 15:00. By 2026 the gate has remained open continuously, linking the two halves of the park at all times. The presence of the wall and the open gate together illustrate the park’s evolving role in the city’s social landscape while retaining its historic recreational facilities.
