New public swimming pool A new €9.5m public swimming pool is to be built in Balbriggan. Castlelands, one kilometre south of the town, has been chosen by Fingal County Council as the location of the six-lane 25 metre pool. The provision of a public swimming pool was a key ask of the survey by Balbriggan.ie in 2019 aimed at shaping an order of priorities to transform the town. The findings subsequently shaped Fingal County Council’s ongoing €54-57million Our Balbriggan Rejuvenation Programme. Last year, a study entitled ‘Social Spaces and Youth Services for Young People in Balbriggan’ was carried out on behalf of the Our Balbriggan Rejuvenation Programme. The new study reached out to local teens and found central among their concerns was the need for improved community sports and leisure facilities, including a public swimming pool.
