Belfast’s first ever urban sports park is expected to be open by Easter next year at the M3 underpass at Nelson Street. The news follows the award of £370,000 towards the project from the European Union’s Programme for Peace and Reconciliation managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).
Belfast City Council has been working for a number of years with Belfast Urban Sports (BUS) to create an iconic city centre sports park.
The Council and Better Belfast are funding the remainder of the £500,000 total cost. The new funding will allow construction of the park to begin by the start of 2009.
