You Are Here - Dunville Park, Falls Road - Belfast - 'You Are Here' Maps on Waymarking.com

A You Are Here map and information board on Falls Road, at the entrance to Dunville Park, Belfast.

"Dunville Park was the first park in Belfast to be donated as a gift to the city. It was presented by Robert G Dunville to residents in 1891.

The Dunvilles were a wealthy family who were well known in Belfast in the 19th century. They were famous for their distillery, which was located on the Grosvenor Road. The distillery had a fermenting capacity of more than 500,000 gallons and it produced Dunville Irish Whiskey.
Robert G Dunville was keen to contribute to Belfast’s development and, in addition to his donation of land, he also gave £5,000 towards the laying out of the park, more than £1,000 for railings and £665 for a fountain.

Sadly, the fountain is no longer in working order. Dunville Park was officially opened in 1892 by the Marquis of Dufferin and Ava."
