EastSide Greenways (formerly the Connswater Community Greenway Trust), a registered charity, aims to maximise the potential of the Connswater Community Greenway as a catalyst for the ongoing physical, social and economic regeneration of east Belfast.

Building on the success of Connswater Community Greenway, one of only three projects in the UK to be awarded ‘Living Landmark’ status, EastSide Greenways intends to in­fluence and explore the potential for a wider network of Greenways across east Belfast linking people and places to a city wide and regional network.
