Planning permission is being sought to build 40 social and affordable housing units on the site, with a mix of one to five-bedroom apartments.
The plans, designed by Park Hood Chartered Landscape Architects in Belfast, also include community leisure facilities, including a basketball court and parkland.
A planning statement submitted as part of the application said: “The proposed development has been carefully designed to integrate seamlessly into the surrounding residential and landscape context whilst meeting the identified housing needs of the area.”
“Although the site is designated as a recreational area, due to its private ownership and poor condition, it has not fulfilled this function for over a decade.
“The proposed project brings significant benefits to the community and significantly exceeds the loss of existing unused open space. These benefits include the provision of much-needed social and affordable housing, the creation of a high quality urban park with leisure facilities and significant biodiversity environmental improvements.”
