Super-park ‘will make city one of the best for recreation’

Plans for a massive super-park in Cork, including the €67m revamp of Pairc Uí Chaoimh, will put the city on the map as one of the great recreational cities of the world like Melbourne, Toronto, and New York.

That’s according to Independent Cllr Mick Finn who said fears about crowd and traffic management problems can be overcome.

He was reacting yesterday after councillors signed off on a draft masterplan for Marina Park which incorporates GAA plans for a major stadium overhaul and the development of a centre of excellence nearby. The draft masterplan document is going out for public consultation for four weeks.
