Galway City Council is leading on the development of a Local Sports Plan for the City. This Plan reflects our commitment Under Action 8 of National Sports Policy 2018- 2027. The following surveys provide an opportunity for all people across the City, regardless of age, gender, ethnic background, ability or location to help us to develop a Plan which reflects your aspirations and requirements for sports and physical activity.
By sport we mean all forms of physical activity which, through casual or organised participation, aims at expressing or improving physical fitness and mental wellbeing, forming social relationships or obtaining results in competition at all levels. This means our plan will consider all forms of recognised sport physical activity (recreational and competitive) from exercise and fitness, playing sports, walking, dancing and cycling to structured participation in schools and clubs.
In order to find better ways for us to work together, both internally and with our partners, we are asking stakeholders across Galway City to contribute to this consultation process. The links to the Surveys can be found below:
