Public Realm /Public Open Space 10.97 Cork City Council will seek that the City Docks will have exemplar public realm and public open spaces befitting of a City Centre extension and new sustainable neighbourhood. The City Docks will include strategically important open spaces and public realm to provide for the passive and active recreational needs of the neighbourhood and to provide focal points for social interaction and pedestrian and cycle routes: • Marina Park – The Marina Park Masterplan 2014 is being delivered in three phases by Cork City Council. • Quayside Amenity Areas on Horgan’s Quay (including extension), Custom House Quay, Albert Quay and Kennedy Quay. • Kennedy Spine – A linear park extending from Kennedy Park to Kennedy Quay and also on Horgan’s Quay to the north of the River Lee. • Monahan’s Road Park – A linear park that combines swales with open space and landscape to create an attractive park place for predominantly passive recreation. • Centre Park is a new linear amenity park at the heart of the City Docks that will provide for
the passive amenity needs of the high density sustainable residential neighbourhood, as well as including a tree-lined linear swale, a pedestrian / cycle street and the LRT. • Active Recreational Infrastructure (ARI) – sports grounds to provide facilities to meet the active recreational needs of the City Docks within the neighbourhood and close to homes, schools and places of work will be provided by Cork City Council. These facilities will be complemented by facilities outside of the City Docks but accessible by walking / cycling and public transport, including the possibility of additional ARI in accessible locations, such as Mahon. In addition, within the City Docks ARI needs will be met by indoor facilities, multi-use games areas (MUGAs), specialist sports provision, water-based activity infrastructure, a skate park, and potentially a swimming pool or lido. 10.98 Developments will be required to provide (at least) 15% of their net developable area as public open space. Developments will be required to incorporate small-scale ARI (e.g. MUGAs / sports halls) commensurate to the scale of the proposed development and to meet the needs of the community. Outdoor facilities can be provided within public open spaces, streets, communal courtyards or at rooftop level.
