These are the locations for 10 new parklets set to pop up throughout Cork City

The first one was a resounding success.

Now Cork City Council has announced the locations of ten new parklets, similar to the pop-up park on Douglas Street, that will be created throughout Cork City as part of the ‘Re-imagining Cork’ programme.

In early September, business owners, institutions, neighbourhood organisations, and other community-based groups were invited to become a ‘parklet partner’.

Cork City Council is now providing the funding for the installation of each parklet, after which the parklet partner will oversee its day-to-day upkeep and planting.

Working with social enterprise ‘Benchspace’, the new parklets will be installed over the next number of weeks at the following locations:

  • Three Piggies, Union Quay
  • Quay Co-op, Sullivan’s Quay
  • Imperial Hotel, South Mall
  • Butter Museum, Shandon (in partnership with Shandon Area Renewal Association)
  • Civic Trust House, Pope’s Quay
  • Lavit Gallery, Wandesford Quay
  • Main Street, Ballincollig (in partnership with Ballincollig Tidy Towns)
  • Main Street, Douglas (in partnership with Douglas Tidy Towns)
  • Crestfield Shopping Centre, Glanmire (in partnership with Glanmire Area Community Association)
  • Muskerry Arms, The Square, Blarney

Instagram post 18179675725064150 ✨✨• @cpowerphotography Sheep’s Head lighthouse in West Cork 🇮🇪 It’s only a gentle downhill walk from the car park to get to this amazing lighthouse perched on what feels like the edge of the world. The loop walk takes about an hour and is well worth it to really experience this incredible location. Will definitely be back when things get better again!
