These allotments are plots of land leased to local community members to enable them to grow their own fruit and vegetables. They provide a great amenity to the city with many benefits provided to the plot-holders and their families, from fresh air to home grown produce.
As Galway City grows, so does our need for spaces for recreation, rest, play and nature. For this reason, Galway City Council is currently developing a Green Spaces Strategy.
There are many facilities for playing football, soccer and rugby in Galway City and these facilities are subject to a Galway City Council Letting Agreement with local sports clubs.
Local authorities may provide and maintain public parks which offer facilities such as pathways, cycleways, playground, skateboarding areas, playing pitches, outdoor gyms, tea rooms, and performance and exhibition areas.
There are 30 (thirty) playgrounds in Galway City. The Recreation & Amenity Department take great pride in being a child friendly city and with 30 playgrounds/skate parks/multi use game areas, we aim to have the highest quality of maintenance in place.
