Waterworks

The Waterworks was the source of Belfast's water supply in the mid 19th century. It became a public park in the 1950s.

Today, the park is an oasis for wildfowl in north Belfast. You can find many greylag geese and mute swans, as well as other birds such as mallards, tufted ducks, coots, pochards, goldeneyes, cormorants and great-crested grebes.

The park also hosts regular events, including band performances and family fun days.
