New Cork city public park should open in summer

A huge new public park in Cork, to rival Dublin’s Phoenix Park, should open to the public next summer.

City Hall officials indicated a long-awaited opening date for Tramore Valley Park after health and safety issues forced the cancellation of a public fun run in October.

The park has been developed, at a cost of tens of millions of euro, on the site of the city’s former Kinsale Road landfill.
