Watch: Cork's Marina Promenade re-opens to the public

The popular riverside amenity, Marina Promenade, reopened for public use today after construction began last year aiming to build on the pedestrianisation of the route.

The project, funded by the National Transport Authority, encompasses a six-metre-wide pedestrian and cycle corridor with new seating areas.

It includes the provision of new pedestrian and cycle access points from the Marina Promenade to Marina Park and the Cork city to Passage West Greenway, and protection and enhancement of the trees and old stone walls. A new access road will serve the rowing clubs and Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Contractors Ward & Burke will continue to work on the adjoining Marina Park Phase 2 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, and Park Access at Monahan Road.

An official opening will take place in Spring 2025.
