Pod finally lands as Fitzgerald Park reopens

From a flying Sky Garden in Chelsea to a stunning viewing platform over the banks of the Lee — the transformation is finally complete.

The gates of Cork’s landmark Fitzgerald Park will be thrown open today as its long-awaited €2.3m facelift is unveiled.

City officials are confident that despite almost two years of controversy associated with the cost of celebrity gardener Diarmuid Gavin’s Sky Garden, taxpayers will be impressed with how their money has been spent revamping the park to incorporate the Avatar-inspired garden.
