[ Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028, Section 15(2) Two-Year Progress Report ]
NORTH EAST AND NORTH WEST REGIONAL PARKS
[OBJECTIVE 10.91] NORTH EAST AND NORTH WEST REGIONAL PARKS
Cork City Council have commenced the development of a masterplan for the North West City Park and will develop an implementation strategy to deliver a high quality, attractive city park. The proposed park comprises an area of approximately 116 ha (287 acres) 2.25 km from Cork City centre. The lands are situated north of Kilmore Heights and south of Lower Killeens Road. The primary objective for the North West City Park is to address deficiency in park provision to the north and north west of the city, and to respond to the needs of the existing and future neighbourhoods by promoting active and passive recreation, and offering social, cultural, economic and environmental benefits. The park will ultimately improve the quality of life for residents in the surrounding communities. Cork City Council appointed a design team in Q1, 2024. An options assessment has commenced for the North East Regional Park.
