Such a nice place! People are friendly and super helpful. I'm from out of the country and came here…read morefor a quick session in between flights and had a fabulous time. The gear you can rent is really sturdy and the shoes are pretty new. You can rent shoes, chalk, and a harness for €20, or $24. NOTE: ALL CLIMBERS REGARDLESS OF CLIMBING ABILITY MUST GO THROUGH A QUICK BRIEFING OF THE FACILITY. Then again, this only takes about 15 minutes and is quite cool since you're introduced to the different climbs and floors. Overall a fantastic experience (and maybe some skin loss) but I had a great time here. Would highly recommend to any beginners, intermediates, or advanced climbers since there is such a diverse atmosphere of routes.

I got a groupon voucher for Awesome Walls, just to try something different out, and I'm so happy…read morethat I did. We got a taster session for two for one hour; which included climbing the high [60 foot!] walls and some 'bouldering'. I didn't know what that was (turns out it's climbing lower walls without a rope and a mat-good fun). We climbed five different routes each within the hour, all at different levels of difficulty using three different walls, and I didn't get bored for one minute. The instructor was really friendly, and eased our initial fears about leaning backwards off a 60 foot high wall and trusting him to not let us fall! The bouldering was great too, as although the walls were a lot smaller the routes were a bit trickier. We had a few falls, some rope burn and a lot of laughs. Membership to Awesome Walls is only €5 after your first session, which provides discounts for future visits, and I'm planning to go back very soon. Give it a try, even if like me you're not great with heights, you won't regret it! The place is a bit tricky to find within a large business park and Google Maps doesn't seem to know it exists once you get on the road, buut aside from that I can't fault the experience - can't wait to go back!

After visiting a few other leisure centres in Dublin, the one here in Clondalkin is of the best…read moreI've found so far. The centre is clean and well looked after. I went specifically for the pool and was impressed. The pool was clean, the water kept at a proper temperature for lap swimming, lifeguards attentive to making sure people stay in the right lanes based on ability, and the room is vented appropriately with fresh air. I also liked that the locker and changing room was clean and tidy. I kept my belongings in a locker safely while I swam and then was able to have a hot shower after my training. The one main thing I wish was different is the membership fee. From what was explained to me I have to either pay as I come (6 euro per swim as an adult) or join for the year. I don't want an annual membership at this time, so I have to pay the drop in price. I would join for a month at a time rate if one was available and fair.

Expensive. It's really well maintained, clean…read more Gym is ok but it's all cardio machines and some weight machines, very small free weights section. The range of classes is fairly limited - they should definitely offer things like Pilates, Yoga, bootcamp. The pool is very good though. Astro turf pitches see fairly good too, haven't used them. There's a new skate park as well.

PureMagic is primarily a Kitesurf center, providing kitesurfing lessons and renting and selling all…read morerelated equipment. However, they are also actively involved with SUP (stand up paddle boarding). The store is located near the wooden bridge on Clontarf road, so only a short skip to the kitesurfing spot on Dollymount Strand and short drive to Burrow Beach in Sutton. You can purchase and rent equipment from the store, but for anybody new to kitesurfing lessons are also available. I have had lessons here and found the team really good. They are a really friendly group and very patient (important for novice kitesurfers). They also organise kitesurfing trips abroad during the cold months, I went on a trip to the Sahara which was a truly unique experience, they also go to Brazil. PureMagic have a western outpost on Achill Island that consists of a B&B and kitesurf center, so worth keeping in mind for trips west. On the odd occasion of calm weather in Dublin, they also organise SUP trips around Ireland's Eye which are well worth checking out if that's your sort of thing (http://bit.ly/1blDkS1).

On one of the last days before the epic summer of 2013 ended, I decided to do (prior to this…read moresummer) no man had done before (kinda) - get into the Dublin sea. It was like bathwater and decidedly un-Irish. Overcome by an urge to share this revelation with everyone I knew, I organised a trip out Donnabate Strand, stand up paddle boarding. Now, let me preface this by saying I'd originally planned on a day trip paddling around Ireland's Eye, which sounded decidedly more exciting, but the crew in the shop weren't keen as most of us had never done SUP before, and suggested it might be better to start small, and on the next trip get around the island. So, with the sun splitting the stones, off we went with our huge boards. I have dabbled with some surfing before (to varying levels of success), and in the midst, discovered that my favourite element of the 'surfing', was paddling out into the flat space and sitting on my board taking in the ocean around me. SUP is perfect for this - you're not contending with many (if any) waves, and once you've got your balance figured out, it's a lovely calming feeling. It's still a great workout as you're using a lot of your core for balance and arms to paddle. It costs €15 for one hour of paddling, which I think is more than enough for a first timer. These guys also do kite surfing lessons and have another branch on Achill Island that teaches surfing and more.

The playground is out of this world. There is also a skate park and lots of walking paths. It is a wonderful area. If you're driving, there is ample parking in the parking lot and by bus, I think you can take bus 37 or 39 (towards Ongar) from Dublin. I believe there is a stop right by the park. Also, this park has a sandpit, so bring your shovel and bucket! You can see the huge castle slide from the road and your kids will love the zip line! It's a very cool park.

The play ground is great and it's perfect place to wear out your kids. It has stuff for big kids and play set for toddlers, obstacle course and a big double sandbox and a zip line!. There are toilets on play ground they rarely have toilet paper or soap but at lest bathrooms are there. There is a skate park and areas to play ball. Also there is a dog park, sadly we have no pets but it looks nice a big from afar. And everything pretty well taken care of. I definitely recommend this park!

Not really using the swimming facilities- I should, hopefully when the weather will be a little bit warmer Classes are great- I hate spinning class, but I heard it's really good- I don't cycle at all. Zumba is great, Pilates, Yoga! Weights on the ground floor - packed on Monday to Wednesday evenings (6-8 pm) Thursday Friday better - weekends it depends. All good- most of the equipment is working. You can ask staff to show you how to use it. There is basketball-football court upstairs on the 2d floor - you can reserve it for the kid's party or football fun game - ask reception for the info! You can get your chart ( info.desk on the ground floor)- measure yourself (weight, height, etc.) And you can set your goal and go ahead- with the trainer or by yourself!
