Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park is a park located in South Belfast. The park spans almost 130 acres and is accessible from the Upper Malone Road. The park features a series of themed Rose gardens, meadows, copses and woodland.
The park was bequeathed to the people of Belfast in 1959 by Lady Dixon and was dedicated to the memory of her husband, the late Sir Thomas Dixon.
The park has gained fame for its displays of over 20,000 roses in bloom each summer and each year hosts international Rose Garden and Rhododendron displays.
