FIANNA Fáil city councillor Kenneth O’Flynn has welcomed the beginning of work by Cork City Council in Dr Hearne Park, which is located at the rear of Shandon Court Hotel. The work will see the former graveyard transformed into a public park with seating and playground facilities.
At present new fencing and security cameras have been erected by Cork City Council in the first step in the transformation of the graveyard into a People’s Remembrance Park. Further work is set to incorporate a children’s playground and seating area.
Cllr O’Flynn said, “I think that projects like this which have taken place in the Glen, as well as Shandon in St. Anne’s Park, show City Council’s determination to provide amenity areas to those disadvantaged areas of our city and allow them green recreation areas to enjoy.
“I hope that the park here in Shandon as well as its counterparts elsewhere on the north side can be locomotives which drive projects like this elsewhere in the city”
