👀 Sneak Peek of Marina Promenade📍
We’ve been putting on the finishing touches as the Marina Promenade will be re-opening for public use in the early morning of Friday 20 December.
The popular riverside amenity extends 1.8km from Centre Park Road to Blackrock Village, a six-meter-wide pedestrian & cycle corridor with adjoining plazas, riverside balconies, new seating areas, environmentally sensitive public & feature lighting and many other features.
The works carried out on the project include:
➡️Provision of new pedestrian and cycle access points from the Marina Promenade to the adjacent Marina Park including Atlantic Pond and the Cork City to Passage West Greenway.
➡️Protection and retention of the iconic formal tree planting along the route and restoration of the old stone walls.
➡️Protection and enhancement of the natural heritage, green space and biodiversity of the area including the provision of swales and related planting.
➡️ Provision of a new access road serving the rowing clubs, Pairc Ui Chaoimh/Atlantic Pond.
The contractors Ward & Burke will continue to work on the adjoining Marina Park Project into 2025. The following areas within Marina Park will remain closed during the Christmas period:
📍 Holland Park
📍Elevated Tree Walkway
📍Barrington’s Folly
📍Atlantic Pond
📍Park Access at Monahan Road
Many thanks for your patience during the construction of these projects and we hope you enjoy Christmas strolls, cycles, runs and catch-ups with friends there.
