Michael Moynihan: Parklet plans show a little can go a long way in a city like Cork

A space to relax in the city centre — it's not too much to ask. Douglas St has had such a space for a few years. Having originated in California, parklets are set to spread across Cork

I’ve noticed it, don’t worry.

Coming along Douglas St it’s hard to miss that little... what is it, exactly, outside the Cork Flower Studio? A little half-enclosed zone, with low walls and some plants, seating which will allow you to sit down and chill with a pal — at a distance, of course — but is there a precise name for this unit/zone?
