Stormont s parliament buildings, on the outskirts of Belfast, often features in the national news as the focus of raucous political debates and protests. But the building is also set in the middle of several hundred acres of magnificent parkland. Most of it was closed to the public at the height of the Troubles, but from the late 1990s, as the peace process developed, it has become a treasured public space.
In the past twenty years, the Stormont Estate has developed its woodland and added environmental trails and wetland areas as well as an outdoor fitness gym, running paths and a large play park. It s now one of Northern Ireland s most popular outdoor parks and is also used regularly as a venue for charity and public events. It has been a particularly important fresh air escape for local people during the Covid lockdowns.
