ROSSLARE STRAND
ROSSLARE COMMUNITY AND SPORTS CENTRE
In line with HSE guidelines, the community centre is open to facilitate outdoor activities for small groups who reside within a 20km radius.
Tennis courts and bowling greens are available for hire, and the crazy golf facility is now up and running; all activities are operating with strict limits to the number of players. If sport is not for you, our Access for All Garden offers the opportunity for an afternoon stroll and might be just the place to meet for a safe distance coffee and chat with a friend.
All donations towards the upkeep of the grounds are very welcome; donation point is located in the garden. You can now indulge in a visit to our very popular charity shop, set in the garden, for a browse through the fashion rails.
The playground has now opened its gates and we are happy to welcome children and families to enjoy the facilities. Admission is free; voluntary donations are most welcome and can be left in the donation box onsite. Please note that the playground is not supervised, and responsibility for health and safety lies with parents and guardians. The equipment is sanitised regularly, but parents are advised to bring hand sanitiser for the children’s use.
All of our facilities will operate with strict adherence to the current social distancing and hygiene regulations and we ask that all participants read the activity guidelines in advance; these can be found on our website rosslareholidayresort.ie and are prominently displayed at the centre, and at the entrances to each facility. All activities must be prebooked by calling the community centre at 053 9132202.
In light of our reduced activities, we are now offering annual memberships at hugely reduced prices; our very popular family membership can now be purchased for a very reasonable €60; membership offers the whole family unlimited use of the tennis courts, crazy golf, bowling, running track and playground (subject to availability). Tennis and Bowling memberships are also available at significantly reduced rates; call us on 9132202 for more information.
As we move through the Government roadmap phases, we hope to extend the range of facilities on offer with a gradual return to full operation in time. In the meantime, we thank you all for your patience and tolerance as we all become accustomed to these necessary modifications 053 9132202 rosslareholidayresort.ie As you know, RCDA is a registered charity and any support/donations are greatly appreciated.
