The first phase of Cork’s long-awaited Marina Park is finally set to open on Monday, with detailed design work already underway on the next massive phase — a 60-acre eco-park.

The new €10m docklands park, which will feature woodland, marshland, meadows, and water feature zones wrapping around Páirc Uí Chaoimh, will be six times the size of Fitzgerald’s Park once complete.
