History
Ormeau Park was the original home of the Donegall family. The surname might seem familiar as it was later used to name several of Belfast's most famous streets, including Donegall Quay and Donegall Place.
The Donegall family moved to the park and set up their home at Ormeau Cottage in 1807. The second Marquis of Donegall extended the building and lived there until his death in 1844. However, as the family’s fortune spiralled into debt, the Belfast City Council was able to purchase the estate in 1869.
The Park was officially opened to the public in 1871 and the opening was marked with a parade from Carlisle Circus. The public were invited to submit their design ideas for the 100 acre site. The winning design was done by Timothy Hevey, a 24-year-old architect from Belfast.
