Rob Tweeted "This is a massive honor for me to know that long after I am gone a legacy of health and fitness at all levels will live on . To have a looped park walk named after me is very humbling and I would sincerely like to thank @corkcitycouncil #cork #health #Athletics #sport #history"

Future plans to link Tramore Valley Park with Mount Vernon Park, which is just across the M40 South Ring Road, will mean that there will be a substantial off-road route, which will be very welcome indeed. The two parks will be linked by a bridge over the M40.
