Belfast parks and local access
Do the upper and lower Divis Mountain car parks close at the same time?
No. The National Trust distinguishes the lower Divis Road car park from the upper car park, whose gate closes in line with café opening.

Local access and parking details
That matters for anyone walking late in the day: a mountain trail can remain outdoors after café facilities and the upper parking area close. Do not assume that arriving earlier guarantees vehicle access all evening.
Before you go
Read the gate notices on arrival and use the operator’s latest access guidance for evening walks.
