Part of the Giant’s Park has already been developed with the building of new film studios and access roads. This sculpture, at the Dargan Road entrance, features brent geese – birds which winter on Belfast Lough.

An estate agents’ sign, beside the Dargan Road, inviting expressions of interest for the development of the north foreshore former landfill site. The agents’ brochure includes “The Council wishes to invite Expressions of Interest from Developers with the experience and ability who would be interested in acquiring a site to build and manage a commercial leisure / mixed use development at the Giant’s Park North Foreshore. The Development Brief is a two stage process with initial expressions of interest being sought. Once these have been evaluated the successful parties will be notified to enable progression to Stage Two. Bid proposals will then be requested in accordance with a detailed set of criteria as set out in the Development Brief for consideration by Belfast City Council. A timetable for Stage Two of the process will be refined as the process progresses.”

Two 'Give Way' signs at Dargan Road, Belfast. They are joined by an 'EU Hands Off Ulster' sign - a large number of similar signs and graffiti appeared following the negotiation of the UK Brexit deal and Northern Irish Protocol. (An observation - closer to areas on the actual UK/EU border such as Image there is no trace of similar signs or graffiti).
