Donegall Quay

Donegall Quay is a public park and greenspace located in Belfast on the River Lagan upstream of the Lagan Weir.[1] [2][3][4] It was originally developed in the early 1800s on reclaimed land and became integral to shipping in Belfast Harbour.[5] It is opposite of Queen's Quay. [6]

The Big Fish statue is located on the quay, as is the sculpture Sammy the Seal.[7][8] Obel Tower is also adjacent to the quay.[9]
