Belfast residents avoiding local park as they 'feel intimidated' by ASB

Residents living close to a Belfast City Centre playpark are fearful of the reported anti-social behaviour that plagues it, one father has said.

Cathedral Gardens, formally known as Buoy Park, was designed by toddlers and primary school children. The £250,000 project was funded by Belfast City Council, with £93,000 additional funding provided by the Stormont Department for Communities.

And while the council says they are aware of the ongoing issues at the site and are working to tackle them, residents say they still feel like more should be done. Some have even stopped bringing their children to the park, for fear of the broken glass on the floor.
