Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park was awarded the Green Flag Award, which recognises the best open spaces in the UK. It is one of ten of our parks, cemeteries and open spaces to receive this award. Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park in south Belfast is one of our most popular parks. It is home to the City of Belfast International Rose Garden, which attracts thousands of visitors to Rose Week celebrations, which take place in July each year.

Covering more than 128 acres, the park is made up of rolling meadows, copses, woodland and gardens and is home to a wide range of plants and animals. An ideal base for exploring nearby Lagan Valley Regional Park, it contains international camellia trials, a walled garden, a Japanese-style garden with water features for quiet contemplation, children's playground and orienteering and eco trails. There is also a bottle bank, barbecue area, picnic tables and full car parking facilities.

The Stables coffee shop offers tea, coffee and a selection of freshly baked treats and hot and cold foods. It is open from 10am to 4pm, Monday to Sunday.

Opening hours

The park opens at 7.30am daily. Closing times vary according to the time of year. The Stables coffee shop is open from 10am to 4pm, Monday to Sunday.
