With the Forestside Shopping Centre a stones-throw away, Rosetta residents don't have to go far to do their weekly food shop. Also in Forestside there are phone shops, chemists, banks, jewellery shops and high street clothing ranges. Forestside provides an excellent day out and has everything you will need. Furthermore, residents also have access to the plethora of amenities on the Ormeau Road and Ravenhill Road. Located nearby is one of Ireland's longest running golf clubs since its founding in 1893 - Ormeau Golf Club. Known by many as "the course in the heart of the city" it boasts a marvellous tree-filled, nine-hole course, which has been played by the likes of Open Champion Fred Daly.

Also enjoyed by walkers and joggers there is a range of orienteering routes and eco trails. The Ozone Complex is situated inside Ormeau Park and has fantastic indoor tennis courts, an intimate gym and laser quest facilities. Throughout the summer season, Ormeau Park holds weekly concerts and band performances in the bandstand, which provides free entertainment to be enjoyed by all.
