Seapark Recreation Ground

Seapark Recreation Ground in Holywood is a popular spot for dog parents who want an easy coastal walk paired with open space to wander. Set beside Belfast Lough, the promenade offers a safe, flat route ideal for steady strolls with plenty of sea air and long views across the water.

The grassy recreation area provides room for dogs to explore on lead, with benches dotted throughout for breaks. Many dog parents use Seapark as a starting point for the wider North Down Coastal Path, as you can follow the route straight towards Crawfordsburn and Helen’s Bay from here.

The shoreline gives dogs plenty to take in, from passing seabirds to the gentle movement of the water. At quieter times, the wide paths make it easy to keep a comfortable pace without feeling crowded.

Facilities nearby include parking, toilets (seasonal), and access to Holywood’s cafés and shops only a short walk away. The promenade is popular with walkers, runners and cyclists, so it’s helpful to keep dogs close on narrower sections.

Seapark is a simple, scenic and dependable choice for dog parents looking for a relaxed walk by the coast, whether you are out for a quick loop or linking into a longer route along North Down’s shoreline.
