About

One of Cork's largest public leisure centres — with three swimming pools, a split-level gym, four floodlit astro pitches, and a café — all available pay-as-you-go, right beside MTU in Bishopstown.

Things to Do

Swimming (Three Pools)

Take your pick: a 6-lane 25m pool (1m–2m depth), a 4-lane 18m ancillary pool, and a learner/toddler pool. Public swim times vary across the week and between pools — check the timetable before visiting. A viewing gallery overlooks the main pool.
