Eco-park opening set to make a splash

Guided safaris, pedal ride boats and bird hides will be unveiled this weekend as a new eco-park, Tralee Bay Wetlands Centre, opens.

The 25-acre site has been created to echo the adjoining surrounds of what is an international wildfowl reserve and one of the world’s most important wildfowl wetlands.

In the past weeks, mute swans, grey herons, various ducks and gulls, and curlew have been spotted at the reserve according to WWT Consultants who designed the centre.
