Connswater is an electoral ward in Belfast, Northern Ireland, situated in the eastern part of the city along the course of the River Connswater. The area mixes Victorian terraces and post‑war housing and lies close to green spaces such as Victoria Park, giving it a semi‑urban feel within easy reach of the city centre.
Historically part of Belfast’s industrial east with strong working‑class roots, the ward has seen notable regeneration in recent years, most visibly through the Connswater Community Greenway - a linear park and flood‑alleviation project that improved access, green space and community facilities. The local economy is a blend of small shops, light industry and community organisations, and the area has an active civic life shaped by ongoing social and environmental improvement efforts.
