About Us

At Active South Dublin, we’re passionate about helping everyone in South Dublin County enjoy the benefits of an active, healthy lifestyle. Whether it’s walking, cycling, dancing, playing team sports, keeping fit, or volunteering, we work with local communities, clubs, schools, and organisations to make sport and physical activity more accessible for all.

Our vision is simple: to get more people, more active, more often. We bring people together—residents, local groups, leisure providers, and other partners—to create opportunities for participation, focusing on building an inclusive and supportive environment for physical activity, recreation, and sport.

Four key pillars guide our work:

  • Active Spaces and Places: Enhancing facilities and creating welcoming spaces for physical activity.
  • Active Communities and Clubs: Supporting clubs, groups, and local initiatives to grow and thrive.
  • Active Partnerships and Systems: Building strong connections to achieve better outcomes together.
  • Active Communications: Sharing information and spreading the message of active living.

Funded by Sport Ireland and South Dublin County Council, Active South Dublin is part of a national network of 29 Local Sports Partnerships to promote and develop physical activity across Ireland.

Let’s get moving—together!
