Public Running Tracks in South Dublin

Orando Broom · 2012-01-05 12:42:27

Since UCD is gone I don't know of any others. Does anyone know of a public track that you could just turn up and use? I want to do some sprit work and I want to do it on a track surface as opposed grass.

Irishtown Stadium
I think you will need to ring and make sure the track is free and there is a charge - 5 or 10 per person (can't remember)

Really like irishtown stadium, it was a 5er a head when we used to do track work there for rugby. nice changing rooms too although parking can be an issue because of 5 aside football and tag rugby

Theres a basic gravelly one in kilbogget park
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=kilbogget+park+cabinteely+dublin+ireland&hl=en&ll=53.255606,-6.14096&spn=0.002529,0.006968&hnear=Kilbogget+Grove,+Cabinteely,+Dublin+18,+Ireland&t=h&z=18&vpsrc=6

I am not sure if its any use, sometimes it has lanes painted on it for race days, but they wash away. Most people are jogging on the cycletrack/walkways.
