Background

DLR Leisure was established in 2009 with the purpose of operating and managing leisure facilities owned by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council.

We operate 4 Leisure Centres at Ballyogan, Loughlinstown, Meadowbrook and Monkstown. We provide fully equipped gyms, excellent pool facilities, fitness studios and all weather pitches. We also have a skate park in Monkstown and a Large indoor sports hall in Loughlinstown. Our enthusiastic and qualified staff are always on hand to assist with your queries. Our centres are the perfect place for a family day out; to keep fit; to meet new friends; or just to relax and unwind.

The positive impact we are able to make in our communities is extremely important to us. Any surplus made is reinvested back into the business for the benefit of the communities we serve through job creation, facility improvements or the provision of new programmes and services.
