Springfield Park

Springfield Park (also known as Springfield Dam) in west Belfast opened to the public in December 2020 following a £1.2 million redevelopment. This work was part of the Forth Meadow Community Greenway project.

Getting to Springfield Park

Enter the park at Springfield Road or Clovelly Street. If you are travelling by bus from Belfast city centre, take Metro no.80, 80A, 81 and 81A.

Help us name the bridge

In October and November 2022, we asked residents from the surrounding communities for suggestions on potential names for the pedestrian and cycle bridge within the park.

A cross-community panel met in early December to choose a shortlist of four names, which the public will be asked to vote on. This public vote will take place in January 2023.

Keep an eye on our social media platforms and our consultation hub (link opens in new window) for more information.

Community building

Within the park is a community building which is available to local community groups, schools, youth projects and people to book. To book, email leisure@belfastcity.gov.uk.

Park events

To find out what events and activities are on in our parks, go to Park events.

As part of the Forth Meadow Community Greenway Shared Services and Spaces programme, we're developing plans to hold community events in Springfield Dam. Events could include family fun days, craft fairs, cultural, environmental and schools events.
