Marina Walks and Cork to Passage West Greenway

Marina Walks and Cork

to Passage West Greenway

Spent about an hour walking around the Marina Park and then the Marina riverside walk along with a stretch of the Cork to Passage West Greenway. Such variety. Very enjoyable. Very frustrating too that there is nothing north of the river, aside from the barely maintained Glen River Park.

No too much to see yet in the newly opened Marina Park except for the old "park" now known as Pairc Uí Chaoimh. And this new red structure (below),

Swan and cygnets in Atlantic Pond.
