Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park

Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park is a large park in south Belfast with woodland areas, formal gardens, and a Japanese-style garden featuring water elements. The grounds combine open meadows with tree-filled sections and create varied landscapes across the entire site.

The park was created from a donation by Lady Edith Stewart Dixon to the public in honor of her late husband, who served as a public official. The grounds originated as a private family estate and became publicly accessible in the middle of the 20th century.

The rose garden attracts visitors who explore blooms during summer months and observe traditional horticultural practices in cultivating rose varieties. The different garden areas are tended by local gardeners and serve as spaces where careful plant cultivation is visible.

The grounds offer parking and picnic areas with barbecue facilities for visitors. A cafe in the historic Stables building serves food and drinks, making it a good spot to spend time.

The park contains several different pathways that lead through varied landscapes, allowing visitors to choose their route based on interest and energy. Each path offers different views and encounters with plants and natural features.
