There are two public parks in this part of the Antrim Road, the Waterworks on the corner of the Cavehill Road and Alexandra Park, which in 1994 was divided in two by a fence after clashes between Newington republicans and Shore Road loyalists. The fence remains in place although a gate was added in 2011 permitting limited access from one side to the other. This area of the Antrim Road also hosts Saint Ignatius', a building used by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, having previously been occupied by the Antiochian Orthodox Church.
