Phase one of Cork's newest park will be officially opened tomorrow by Taoiseach, Micheál Martin — with the finished project forming a key part of the massive regeneration of the city's docklands area.

When phase two of the Marina Park project is completed it will be the same size as Dublin Zoo, covering some 70 acres—  meaning it will be six times the size of Fitzgerald's Park in the city.
