Walking Tour | Marina Park and Tramore Valley Park, Cork City Council

The design brief for Marina Park focused on transforming a 32-hectare brownfield site into a sustainable, regional "eco-park" that acts as a catalyst for the regeneration of the South Docklands. The project integrates environmental resilience with high-quality public space, connecting the city to the River Lee.

The design brief for Tramore Valley Park centered on the transformative rehabilitation of a 70-hectare (160-acre) former landfill (Kinsale Road Landfill) into a premier regional amenity park. The project aims to provide extensive recreational, educational, and ecological benefits while creating a green lung for the city.

The meeting point for this event will be the Council Chamber of Cork City Council where tea and sandwiches will be followed by a tour of Marina Park, and then a bus onwards for a tour of Tramore Valley Park.

The ILI is delighted to collaborate with Cork City Council in bringing this opportunity to explore these two parks. We thank Emer O'Callaghan, Cork City Council; Rani Izhar, OKRA; and David Bosonnet, Brady Shipman Martin, for guiding us through the landscape.
