Getting worked up about the Waterworks

Hello everyone and welcome to this blog which I've set up to chronicle the ups and downs of one of North Belfast's most widely used public parks - the Waterworks.

As Northies will know already, the park is a fabulous asset used by thousands of people every year.

In the winter and autumn months there isn't a bother. Spring and summer, now that's a different matter entirely and local residents and businesses dread it.

So with the sunny weather upon us, it's all kicking off again, and by that I mean drinkers, hooligans from both communities using the park at night to go mental and attacks/nuisance caused to homes.

I'm going to use this blog to record both positive and negative developments in the Waterworks and I'm hoping that park users will add their views on its everyday goings-on.

So that's what this blog is all about. My message to you - it's your park, get involved.
