About

Turf Lodge is a residential ward located in west Belfast, characterised primarily by its dense housing estates. The area is served by local shopping facilities along the Stewartstown Road and has several community centres and schools. Its built environment consists largely of terraced and semi-detached homes from the post-war period, with some more recent housing developments integrated into the layout.

The area includes the Colin Glen Forest Park on its southern edge, providing green space and walking paths along the Colin River. Local history is marked by its development as a major housing scheme in the mid-20th century to accommodate population movement. The ward functions as a distinct neighbourhood within the wider Colin urban area.
