Belfast Metropolitan Area Plan 2015
District Proposals: Outer Belfast City Adelaide Park Conservation Area
Designated in December 1993, Adelaide Park Conservation Area contains many fine residences with spacious gardens, exhibiting good examples of Arts and Crafts and Italianate architecture. Many of the properties were built in the late Victorian free style, exhibiting a sense of fun and whimsicality, while others have a taste for heavy and grandiose statements.
Sloping driveways and gardens, which contain a rich variety of trees and shrubs, provide changing vistas and glimpses of the impressive domestic architecture. The Conservation Area is identified on Map No. 4/004 – Belfast City and Map No. 7/001 – Adelaide Park Conservation Area.
