New facility at Cork city's largest park welcomed

The park rangers are encouraging park users to bring reusable bottles when visiting the amenity and refill their bottles, as they need, from the fountain.

An extremely handy facility for runners, families, anyone playing sports at the park and pooches needing a drink in hot weather.

Lord Mayor Colm Kelleher welcomed the development.

"An amazing amenity to be added to the Regional Park, hopefully, the first of many to be installed across the city, and more to come in the Regional park. Now members of the public have access to clean drinking water at the park any time they want, brilliant stuff."
