At the heart of Kingswood, there are 4 tennis courts that over the years have fallen badly into disrepair from non-use.

What is needed now more than ever, is a Sports Facility Hub, for All sports to use and not just aimed at one sport. A sports hub that the whole community can use and have benefit of going forward, for many years to come. We currently have 16+ local teams and organizations amounting to a total number of over 660+ people that must travel outside Kingswood to train for Local teams due to the circumstances.

There is a major need & want in Kingswood, for our First facility for local teams to train in but this isn’t limited to them. We have engaged with our local Community Centre, primary and secondary schools and they also see a real benefit to having this area Redesigned and support it. The Community Centre have an active age group and the 1500+ local students from the 3 schools could use it for PE classes and their after school camogie, football, soccer and athletic to name just a few. If this area could be revamped into an all-weather surface, it would be so well used by the whole community, across all ages, all sports, complete social inclusion throughout the year for all the 2160+ people needing it to date.

Some of the teams and organizations involved in the push for Kingswood Sports Facility Hub are: Kingswood Castle FC, Kingswood FC, St Kevins Kilians GAA, Kingswood Heights Residents Association and Kingswood Heights Community and Leisure Centre. So as you can see the community is really coming together for this cause and the need for it.

Just to note, Tennis can be practiced in this Hub, but mainly Tennis can be played on a tennis court.

Please sign this petition to show your support for our aim for a Multi Use Sports Facility Hub in Kingswood and NOT another Tennis Court.

Thank You.
