Mo Mowlam Play Park is one of Belfast’s biggest and most inclusive outdoor playgrounds, designed so children of all ages and abilities can play together in a safe, imaginative space.

The park features over 40 pieces of equipment, spread across several themed areas including a castle-style climbing zone, inclusive swings and roundabout that can take wheelchairs, and a multi-sensory play space that’s especially great for younger children and those with additional needs.

Older kids will love challenging themselves on twin zip lines, adventurous climbing structures, wavy slides, rope bridges and a five-point swing zone. For toddlers and little explorers there’s a dedicated space with smaller slides, gentle climbing features and plenty of room to run and explore.

There are a number of walking trails. The Woodland Trail, the History Trail and Bug Safari. You can download the Stormont Trails app to help you. Stroll along the boardwalk and look out for the giant bugs in the woodland! You can learn all about them by reading the signs along the way.

Every Sunday morning there’s a ‘Quiet Hour’ from 9:30 am–10:30 am, creating a calmer setting for children who prefer or need less noise and sensory stimulation.
