Councillor Nelson said: “Alliance have campaigned for many years for the redevelopment of Giant’s Park as a valuable green space in North Belfast, so I am delighted that this announcement of investment has been made.
“Giant’s Park presents a significant opportunity for North Belfast. I am hopeful that this redevelopment can create employment opportunities for many local residents and increase tourism in the area while giving a boost to the local economy.
“Importantly, opening Giant’s Park will ensure public access to coastal areas of Belfast Lough and the designated area of ecological importance along the shoreline which will provide valuable opportunities for education and wellbeing.
“As these plans for the park develop, I will work to ensure that the interests of local residents and maintaining the environmental importance of the area remain at the core. I will also continue to work towards improving connectivity between the site and the neighbourhoods in North Belfast, including improved active travel links.”
