Barnett Demesne

Barnett Demesne located next to Malone House, was once a private estate but opened to the public in 1951. Today, the award-winning park retains much of the character of the original estate and is home to the Mountain Bike Trails and Jump Park (link opens in new window).

Barnett Demesne is also popular with walkers and joggers due to its proximity to the River Lagan, Shaw's Bridge and nearby Clement Wilson Park. The park also includes eco-trails, orienteering routes and a children's playground.
