Sports Grounds Priority sports pitches are located near or directly adjacent to Tivoli’s school plots, ensuring the provision of athletics and amenity grounds for these educational institutions. Peripheral Amenity Space Further amenities are located at the far east and west ends of Tivoli, offering informally designed spaces with outdoor gymnasium elements that connect to the primary routes. Carriageway Buffer Landscape Due to the heavy impact of infrastructural connections into the development site, an amount of open space is prioritised towards offering a planted buffer.

Bringing the public realm to the forefront of the river and to city’s iconic Port of Cork cranes, the central promenade forms the central focal point of the 3km network along the River Lee . Waterfront Links Key pedestrian and cycling routes are determined as priority links along the River Lee, allowing Tivoli’s promenade links to accomodate non- motorised transport along its entire 3km length. Local Connector A system of intimate local spaces are linked through the development of human-scale pedestrian corridors, offering opportunity for local retail, safe movement and quiet living.
