Eco-trails
The aim of orienteering is to navigate in sequence between a set of points. This is done by deciding the best route to complete the course in the quickest time. It does not matter how young, old or fit you are, you can progress at your own pace.
We have permanent eco-trails suitable for all ages in
- Ormeau Park,
- Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park,
- Barnett Demesne,
- Clement Wilson Park and
- Cave Hill Country Park.
You can also download a trail map from www.ecotrailsni.com (link opens in new window)
