Marina Park Update - Elevated Tree Walkway

26/09/2025

The second section of Marina Park Phase 2 comprising the elevated tree walkway, woodland paths, and the renovated Barrington’s Folly, is now open for members of the public to enjoy.

The Holland Park section near Blackrock, with its new playground and refurbished slides, opened over the summer, and the final section, Atlantic Pond, is on track to reopen to the public this coming November.

The Marina Park project, when completed, will comprise of 32 hectares and be a regional park six times the size of Fitzgerald’s Park, the green heart at the centre of the 146 hectares regenerated Docklands area. It will be the first URDF (Urban Regeneration and Development Fund) funded project to be delivered as part of the Cork Docklands regeneration.

It is complimented by the iconic Marina Promenade, the 1.8km walkway along the banks of the River Lee, which was officially opened by Taoiseach Mícheal Martin in April this year.
