COMMUNITY AND SPORTS CENTRE

In line with HSE guidelines, the community centre is now open to facilitate outdoor activities for small groups who reside in the locality. 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.

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.

Please note that, for now, we can only offer facilities to residents within 5km of the centre. All activities must be pre-booked 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.

In the coming weeks, 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.
