10.42 The Marina Park is being delivered according to the Marina Park Masterplan 2013 (subject to amendment).

10.39 The City Docks will be integrated into its
Public Realm: Key Streets and Spaces
surroundings in terms of its pedestrian and cycle connections to create a permeable and seamless environment.
10.43 The South Docks Local Area Plan 2008 established principles for the development of a network of streets and spaces, which was expanded upon by the Docklands Public Realm Strategy (see section, below). 10.44 The revised street network (see ABTA) limiting vehicular access, requirements for sustainable urban drainage systems (see South Docks Drainage Strategy, below), extensive street tree planting, and a range of other generators, will mean that the standard street typologies will need to be updated during the life of the Plan. In the interim period the Docklands Public Realm Strategy Street Design Guide will be applied.
Climate Resilience
10.40 Climate resilience is addressed in Chapter 5 Climate and Environment. The City Docks will be developed to be a climate resilient neighbourhood by incorporating Use, where appropriate, sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) and through and achieving an ambitious mode split that prioritises walking, cycling and public transport over other modes. These will have a significant benefit for climate resilience and in terms of placemaking by designing streets that are not dominated by vehicular space and on-street parking.
Land Use Strategy
Public Realm: Marina Park
10.45 The City Docks land use strategy reflects the City Docks Vision to develop an extension of the City Centre, a new sustainable residential neighbourhood and to create a green lung for the City. Table 10.1 sets out the land use zoning objectives and key development components proposed.
10.41 Marina Park will be a new City Park to serve the City Docks, the City Centre, and the South-East Suburbs. Ultimately, it will also be accessible to the North-East of the City via the Eastern Gateway Bridge. Marina Park will provide for passive recreational needs primarily, as well as accommodating: • Flood storage capacity; • Páirc Ui Chaoimh / Centre for Excellence; • An LRT corridor; • River-based recreational activity; • Biodiversity areas; • The Eastern Gateway Bridge; and • Ancillary car parking.
