We have 39 multi use games areas (MUGAs) across the city. These facilities can be used to play a variety of sports including soccer, basketball, netball and Gaelic football. MUGAs are accessible and free to use during daylight hours.
We have outdoor gyms throughout the city to give you a free fitness workout.
The outdoor gym equipment in our parks and open spaces can be used by members of the public. Each piece of equipment has undergone a deep clean and a process of cleaning will continue to be undertaken by staff, as part of their daily inspections.

Gym equipment includes chest presses, leg presses, air-walkers, and cross skiers.
You must be 12 years old or above to use the equipment.
The outdoor gyms have been funded through Active Belfast and are part of our Investment Programme.
We manage and operate 128 sports pitches and playing fields in Belfast, spread across 28 sites throughout the city. We've developed a Playing Pitches Strategy to help make sure we continue to provide high-quality pitches which can be accessed by everyone.
The strategy is also part of our Physical Investment Programme. In 2012 we set aside £14.1 million to improve facilities at ten sites across Belfast. We also received a further £1 million contribution from the GAA.
