History

edit

The Park Centre opened its doors to the public in 15 April 1985 on the former grounds of the Belfast Celtic F.C. It was one of the few such shopping centres in the whole of Northern Ireland at that time.

In recent times, The Park Centre has had a £400,000 renovation,[2] which included an extension that expanded retail space. Currently, there are 35 shops within the centre including JD Sports, Poundland and Specsavers. The complex also has a number of other tenants including Peacocks and Iceland.[3] The Park Centre also has a number of food outlets including a Subway and a local coffee shop along with a Mace convinence shop.

In the spring of 2018, an investment of £3 million was announced which included the creation of a B&M and a Home Bargains superstore that would replace the former Dunnes Stores food hall in the centre, B&M would relocate as they had a presence in the centre.[4]
