Giant's Park Belfast - The Real Big Experience
Giant’s Park will be Northern Ireland’s first Active Entertainment Park. A £150m project, being developed by Giant’s Park Belfast Limited in conjunction with Belfast City Council.
Giant’s Park will be Belfast’s first Active Entertainment Park, utilising a 250-acre landmark development site, close to Belfast City Centre.
Our vision for Giant’s Park is to create the most enthralling visitor experience in Belfast and beyond through a combination of commercial, leisure, sporting and mixed-use development, characterised by qualities of originality, functionality, economy and delight.
Giant’s Park is attractively located and readily accessible. Its proximity to the motorway junction connecting Belfast to the M2 and M5 motorways, offers excellent connections to the air and sea ports and to destinations in the north and north-west. Its coastal location provides a spectacular setting with views towards Cave Hill, Carrickfergus, the Down hills and beyond.
Giant’s Park is organised into a series of key hubs, each of which will provide a range of activities and attractions.
Giant’s Pit Stop and the Welcome Hub will provide a strong indoor leisure offering, including 300,000 sq ft f indoor leisure space, which will include a cinema, bowling alley and eSports Arena. The scheme will include at least two hotels, conference facilities and a range of sports & leisure retail. This will be complemented by a variety of restaurants offering local and international cuisine.
In addition, a 200-acre Adventure Park, will include a range of outdoor activities, including a competition BMX track, skate park, high ropes and children’s adventure play park. Surrounding this will be a network of cycling and running trails, which will attract daily users and regular events. In addition to the hotels there will be glamping, camping and space for touring caravans.
A programme of sporting, cultural and family events will take place on the dedicated events space and will ensure that Giant’s Park attracts locals and visitors throughout the year.
Giant’s Park Belfast Limited is led by Kevin McKay, who is a long-established property developer and investor in the Northern Ireland and the UK property market. He has a long-established track record in these markets for over thirty years.
Giant’s Park Belfast Limited are keen to hear from potential operators for the project’s indoor and outdoor leisure offer, as opportunities exist throughout the development, for service providers together with a range of ancillary uses in the leisure and retail sectors.
Key facts:
• 250-acre Active Entertainment Park
• Wide range of opportunities for operators in the leisure and tourism sector
• Up to 500,000 sq ft of indoor commercial / leisure space and 200 acres of outdoor activities

SUMMARY
=======
Belfast (Irish: Béal Feirste) is a city in the United Kingdom and the capital city of Northern Ireland, on the banks of the River Lagan on the east coast of Ireland. It is the largest city in Northern Ireland and second largest on the island of Ireland. It had a population of 333,871 in 2015.By the early 1800s Belfast was a major port. It played a key role in the Industrial Revolution, becoming the biggest linen producer in the world, earning it the nickname Linenopolis. By the time it was granted city status in 1888, it was a major centre of Irish linen production, tobacco-processing and rope-making. Shipbuilding was also a key industry; the Harland and Wolff shipyard, where the RMS Titanic was built, was the world's biggest shipyard. It also has a major aerospace and missiles industry. Industrialisation and the inward migration it brought made Belfast Ireland's biggest city and it became the capital of Northern Ireland following the Partition of Ireland in 1922. Its status as a global industrial centre ended in the decades after the Second World War.
Belfast suffered greatly in the Troubles, and in the 1970s and 1980s was one of the world's most dangerous cities. However, the city is now considered to be one of the safest within the United Kingdom. Throughout the 21st century, the city has seen a sustained period of calm, free from the intense political violence of former years and has benefitted from substantial economic and commercial growth. Belfast remains a centre for industry, as well as the arts, higher education, business, and law, and is the economic engine of Northern Ireland. Belfast is still a major port, with commercial and industrial docks dominating the Belfast Lough shoreline, including the Harland and Wolff shipyard. It is served by two airports: George Best Belfast City Airport, and Belfast International Airport 15 miles (24 km) west of the city. It is listed by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) as a Gamma minus global city.
