A new North West Regional Park for Cork City is “dependent” on the delivery of the Northern Distributor Road, which is not expected to be complete until the mid-2030s, City Hall officials have said.

This summer, the council asked the public for their input on the proposed park, which will consist of 116 hectares of land, located 2.25km from Cork city centre, north of Kilmore Heights and south of Lower Killeens Road on the northside of the city.
