About

Ballyhass Coachford is an outdoor adventure centre on an old quarry lake in the Lee Valley, built around a fully connected Aquaglide floating obstacle course — with Ireland's first High Nets, a lakeside sauna and guided kayaking as the supporting acts.

Things to Do

Take on the Aquapark

Cork's biggest connected floating obstacle course — a full Aquaglide layout on an old quarry lake where you climb, slide, bounce and race across the water. Sessions run 50–55 minutes on the water plus a safety brief, and wetsuits and buoyancy aids are provided.

Book the All Access Day Pass

One ticket covers a full day on site, 11am to 5pm, with the Aquapark, High Nets, paddle sports and archery all included. From €39pp, it is the simplest way to turn a session into a whole day out.

Bounce on Ireland's first High Nets

An 11-metre-high net course where you bounce, jump, crawl and roll above the site, included in the All Access Pass.

Paddle the Lee Valley

A guided, gentle kayak tour through open water and reed beds, with a stop by Carrigadrohid Castle. From €35pp, suitable for beginners aged 10–65, with wetsuits and lifejackets supplied.

Try archery and axe throwing

Target sports on land: archery from €12pp (included in the All Access Pass) and axe throwing from €35pp in the custom axe shed.

Warm up in the lakeside sauna

Evening sessions in wood-burning sauna pods, finished with a cold-water plunge. From €14.

Stand-up paddleboard the Lee

A SUP expedition is another way to explore the reservoir between Carrigadrohid and Inniscarra Dam.
