Regional Park Ballincollig Car Park to Close for Three Days During Upgrade Works
New footpath and car park improvements progressing well. Pedestrian access remains open.
Visitors to Regional Park Ballincollig will need to plan alternative parking arrangements next week as the main car park undergoes essential upgrade works from Monday 15th September.
The popular Ballincollig park has announced that its car park will be temporarily closed for three consecutive days: Monday 15th, Tuesday 16th, and Wednesday 17th September, to facilitate ongoing upgrade works.
The closure comes as part of broader improvements to the park's facilities, which include the installation of a new footpath at the Innismore entrance alongside the car park enhancement project.
Park management expressed satisfaction with the progress of the works so far, indicating that the improvements are proceeding on schedule. The upgrades are expected to enhance both accessibility and capacity for the thousands of visitors who use the popular recreational facility each week.
Despite the car park closure, the park will remain accessible to visitors throughout the three-day period. Pedestrian access will be maintained, ensuring that walkers, joggers, and families can continue to enjoy the park's amenities during the improvement works.
The timing of the closure suggests park authorities are aiming to minimise disruption by completing the works during the typically quieter midweek period. Visitors planning to drive to the park during these dates are advised to consider alternative transport arrangements or nearby parking options.
The Regional Park Ballincollig serves as a vital green space for the local community, offering walking trails, recreational facilities, and natural amenities for residents and visitors from across Cork.
