    Never heard of it, never went there, and obviously didn't miss much.

    No matter what I always came home soaked.

    Clothes would get soaked then it'd be almost time to leave so changed into nice dry clothes but then....


    "Yarrrr Captain Beer sees some gobshítes on a boat, I must take their boat...yarrrr"


    Then back into the murky depths.

    1 its in wicklow,
    2 it was closed down because the manager had cameras in the bushes or bathrooms (peadophile)
    3 re opened under new management as far as i know.


    yea used to go there as a kid, they had a pirate ship, a tree house, go kart, a unused pitch and put, a large muddy water hole in the middle with ropes tied out of the surrounding trees as swings, paddle boats? at the pirate ship lajke and 1 large straight slide which had a furze bush that you hit into mid way down

    edit oh theres a map, which makes it look so much better than it is

    I remember that slide where you had to carry the boat/sled/carryer thingy all the way to the top of it - it was quite exhausting :o

    especially when you were only 8. was there twice. pity to see it closed down for those reasons

    Well obviously I assumed the question was about Clara Lara...hardly a crime considering the title of the thread and the lack of a quote.
