WILL THE FITNESS JOURNEY BE EASY? NOPE
WILL IT BE WORTH IT? ABSOLUTELY!
Northern Ireland’s newest leisure centre has more sports activities and fitness programmes for people of all ages and abilities than anywhere else in the region – and it belongs to you!
Located at the South side of Craigavon’s balancing lake, the state-of-the-art facility is a landmark for the area and situated in a pre-existing network of walking and cycling paths covering around three miles.
From outdoor water-sports on the lake to the competition-ready 50m pool, and from the largest gym on the island of Ireland to fully accessible Disability Sport NI facilities, our getactiveabc team are incredibly excited to welcome you!
