Where should you park when visiting Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park?

The practical answer

**Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park has its own visitor parking**, so you should not need to use surrounding residential roads for an ordinary visit.

The main approach is from **Upper Malone Road**. Belfast City Council also identifies a lower entrance serving the **Stables** area, which can be more convenient if that is the part of the park you are visiting.

The park is large, so the useful decision is not simply “where can I leave the car?” but **which entrance puts you nearest the part of the park you want**. For the rose garden and a general walk, use the main visitor parking; for an event or activity based at the Stables, follow the specific event/venue directions.

During major events such as the Rose Week programme, parking and traffic management can differ from a normal day, so use the current event instructions rather than relying on everyday arrangements.
