Sky Garden’s domes in Fitzgerald’s Park to be moved for safety reasons

City officials have been forced to relocate several large stainless steel domes from the Sky Garden area of Cork’s revamped Fitzgerald’s Park amid health and safety concerns.

The eye-catching domes, which were half-buried in new flower beds close to the Sky Garden’s signature pod, were intended as visual features when the revamped park opened in May after a €2.3m facelift.

But they have proven irresistible to children who have been climbing on and jumping between them, heavily trampling the planting arrangements in the area.
