From the Carlow County Council:

The Carlow Water Activity Centre is designed to be more than just a recreational space; it’s a long-term investment in our community’s health and connection to our natural environment. This Centre will serve as a legacy for future generations, supporting active lifestyles and instilling a lifelong appreciation for Carlow’s beautiful riverside.

By establishing this Centre, we are creating a sustainable resource that will benefit Carlow’s young people and families for decades to come. It’s an asset that will promote a love for water sports and outdoor activity, offering more opportunities to participate to the community.

Cllr Fergal Browne, Cathaoirleach, Carlow County Council:

“The Carlow Water Activity Centre will be a place where community meets opportunity, providing residents of all ages and abilities with access to water sports, leisure facilities, and social spaces. Our vision is to create a welcoming space where people can come together, be active, and enjoy the natural beauty of Carlow’s riverfront.


“This Centre embodies Carlow County Council’s commitment to creating spaces that support health, wellbeing, and social connection. We envision it as a dynamic sporting hub that will bring people together, encourage active lifestyles, and strengthen our community ties.”
