About

Dundonald ward lies in the eastern part of the Lisburn and Castlereagh district, characterised by a mix of residential development and open land. The area includes the suburban communities around the Upper Newtownards Road and the Comber Greenway, a popular traffic-free path for cycling and walking. Housing ranges from older estates to newer developments, with local retail parks serving daily needs. The ward is bordered by the Castlereagh Hills to the south, providing a distinct rural edge.

A significant feature is the Dundonald International Ice Bowl, a major leisure complex that includes Northern Ireland's only Olympic-sized ice pad. The area is also home to the Ulster Hospital, one of the region's largest acute hospitals. While primarily residential, the ward contains several business parks and light industrial units, contributing to local employment. Transport links are provided by major roads connecting to Belfast and towards the Ards Peninsula.
