Marina Park receives the ILI President’s Award 2026
We are delighted to share that Marina Park has received the President’s Award at the Irish Landscape Institute Awards 2026, alongside wins for Public Parkland and Nature-Based Solutions. Marina Promenade was also Highly Commended in the Active Travel Project category.
“We are incredibly proud to see Marina Park receive the President’s Award. Together, the four honours reflect different ambitions that have shaped the project from the beginning: creating a generous public landscape for Cork, restoring ecology, working with water and reconnecting the city with its waterfront.”
— Rani Izhar, associate
Through our growing body of work across Ireland, we have developed a deeper understanding of its landscapes, climate challenges and communities. Seeing Marina Park recognised for public space, nature-based solutions and active travel, and ultimately receiving the President’s Award, is a meaningful acknowledgement of the different ambitions brought together in the project.
A dialogue between river and city
Marina Park transforms previously derelict land into Cork’s long-promised metropolitan park. Our design brings together three distinct landscapes: the socially active Urban Park, the 13-hectare Eco-Park and the car-free Marina Promenade
