The first phase of Cork’s new Marina Park will open before the end of the month.
Final snag works are underway on the eco-park which features a central pavilion and walkways.
The Irish Examiner reports phase two will include the ‘nature’ zone of the park, accommodating picnic areas, boating facilities, adventure play areas, preserved marshland zone and several architectural heritage sites.
The 32-hectare Marina Park will extend from Monahan Road and Centre Park Road eastwards, to wrap around the GAA stadium and its all-weather pitch, taking in a revamped Atlantic pond, and will extend all the way to Blackrock harbour.
