Our project
A place for the whole community to play, meet and stay active.
What we are building
Our plan is for a fully renovated community centre and an all-weather multi-sports pitch, set in a safe, attractive environment that everyone can use.
The project includes:
A renovated community centre with meeting and community spaces
A floodlit all-weather multi-sports pitch
Facilities for sport, fitness, arts, youth groups and events
Safe parking
A walking path around the pitch
Outdoor exercise stations
Who is this project for?
This project is for everyone: young children, teenagers and young adults, mothers with babies, older neighbours, and people with disabilities or health challenges.
It will give local clubs and groups, including GAA, football, athletics, community games and fitness classes, a proper home.
The project will bring people together from Spa, Fenit, Barrow, The Kerries, Kilfenora and beyond.
Today & Tomorrow
The hall has served the community for years, but it needs major work to be safe, warm and welcoming for everyone.
Delivery
We intend to deliver the project in phases due mainly to funding constraints.
At community meetings in September 2025 and September 2026 we set out our plan to deliver the project in phases, so we can start building as funding comes in.
Phase 1 will deliver:
A renovated community centre: safe removal of the old asbestos roof, new windows and doors, a new floor and new heating system
A new all-weather floodlit pitch
Installation of external walkway and parking
Completion of Phase 1 expected Q1/Q2 2028
Further Phases will deliver:
A new sports hall with larger indoor court space
Additional changing rooms
Additional parking
Tennis/Padel/Pickleball courts
Studio space
Meeting rooms
Cafeteria meeting space
