2.10 Recreation, Amenity and Open Space
The provision of public open space and recreational facilities is deemed to be an integral part of the required infrastructure of the town. Sports and recreational facilities in the town include GAA clubs, basketball clubs, martial arts, soccer and rugby clubs, swimming pools and gymnasiums, cycling and so on. It should be noted however that many of these sporting groups do not have their own facilities and depend upon renting facilities and /or land. The potential for promoting dual usage of recreational and amenity facilities will be assessed during the lifetime of this plan. It is also an objective of the Council to prohibit development on lands zoned for parks and recreation purposes in the Development Plan as it is considered that the provision and protection of these areas is of paramount importance for the citizens of the town of all ages. The Council also recognises the important role these facilities can play in promoting social inclusion, especially amongst non -nationals and minority groups.
