Sunday Morning Stroll in Millennium Park and Garden at Port of Cork Tivoli.

Sunday Morning Stroll in Millennium Park and Garden at Port of Cork Tivoli. 

The "island" begins in centre, left for the south channel, right for the north

This small park and short walk may be accessed, from the city, by turning left (for the Silversprings Moran Hotel), then left again over the by-pass bridge and heading into the port property. The garden (and its small car park) are on the right at the bottom of the entrance. If you wish to extend the walk, there's a gate at the city end. Continue to walk along the footpath until you reach the 2009 Tivoli Rail Overbridge over the Lower Glanmire Road. Walk to the top and you'll have fine views towards the city, with the Marina across the river on your left, the Cork-Cobh railway to the right.

Strollers on the Marina, rowers on the water

"Eden" by Sean MacCarthy (2000), one of a few sculptures in the park.
