Ballycastle Leisure Centre

The economy of Ballycastle relies heavily on local tourism. The lack of wet-weather facilities means tourism is highly weather dependant. As well as addressing the local need for facilities, this project will help extend the tourist season.

The new Ballycastle Leisure Centre will offer:

  • a 4-lane swimming pool
  • a bouldering wall, BMX pump track, walking and running trails
  • space for community activities
  • an accessible playpark
  • a gym
  • a cafe

The project runs alongside the Ballycastle Town centre Masterplan
