New amenities planned for Cork regional public park

A significant expansion at one of Cork’s largest public parks is on the cards after planning was secured for new walkways.

Cork County Council has cleared a Part 8 planning application for the development of new wheelchair and buggy accessible tarmac walkways at the eastern end of Ballincollig Regional Park. The new walkways will run through an area of council-owned land adjoining the park but which is not formally part of the park.

The six-acre site is accessed by the public informally and is unmanaged.
