Two devices left at East Belfast GAA’s grounds were hoax devices.
Army bomb disposal experts were at the scene on Friday afternoon after reports that two devices had been left.
The alert centred on club playing fields in the Church Road area.
But on Friday evening the PSNI said the incident was over.
The PSNI said: “Police received a report just after 12pm that two suspicious items had been left in the vicinity of playing fields in the Church Road area of the city.

“Church Road was closed to all traffic for a time while Army Technical Officers carried out tests on the items, which were confirmed to be hoax devices.
“Once again, this has caused considerable inconvenience to those who live in the vicinity, but public safety has to remain our top priority. We would like to thank the community for their patience and cooperation while this operation was carried out.”
It is the latest in a series of incidents at the club since it started in 2020.
One local councillor said the repeated security alerts are an attempt to drive the club out of the area.
SDLP councillor Seamas de Faoite said those responsible are hurting the local community.
“The groups behind these repeated security alerts at Henry Jones Playing Fields are doing so in an attempt to intimidate East Belfast GAA and force them out of the area solely because they wish to take part in gaelic games in this community,” he said.
“So far their efforts have been unsuccessful and they will continue to be as the majority of people stand with the club and others who have been affected.
“All these repeated security alerts are achieving is causing disruption to the lives of those who live and work in this area.
Mr de Faoite said those behind the threats cannot be allowed to continue.
“The council is working to deliver CCTV in this vicinity, but we also need to see those behind these constant attacks held responsible,” he added.
Sinn Fein MLA Deirdre Hargey also condemned the latest attempt to “intimidate children and adults” playing sport.
“It is absolutely sickening and disgraceful that police are dealing with yet another security alert at Henry Jones Playing Fields, used by East Belfast GAA,” the South Belfast MLA said.
“These disgusting attempts to intimidate children and adults playing sport on these pitches and to subvert the growth of Gaelic games in the area must stop.
“This is an attack on the entire community and must be condemned by all political representatives and sporting organisations.
“We must stand as a collective against this vile behaviour which is unwanted and uncalled for in today’s society.”
