One of the park’s biggest attractions is its lake, which is home to a range of water birds such as swans, geese, ducks, herons and migrant waders. Some of the waders have also been recorded in the Baltic Sea and Scandinavia.
Due to its rich variety of wildlife, the open water in the park is part of the Belfast Lough ASSI (Area of Special Scientific Interest) project. A poetry trail, which features ten nature-themed poems written by local primary school pupils and etched onto metal plaques, also provides a pleasant route around the park. Other features include flower and rose beds and horticultural displays.

Read All ReviewsVictoria Park is a lovely place to go and enjoy a walk, in the east of Belfast. It has a car park, which has a height restriction, so, if like me you use a high wheelchair accessible vehicle, there is alternative parking just outside Bombardier Aerospace in the docks. The footpath is level although there is a slight camber in the footpath. A play ground and small cycle track facilities also exist. The wildlife is wonderful and this is often joined by low flying aircraft from the adjoining airport. A coffee kiosk is available and toilets in the bowling pavilion are there too, but I think these could be a lot better.
