Loughglynn Community Centre

Community Centre

The Centre is a new complex incorporating a sports hall, a childcare centre and a number of rooms to incorporate its use as a social centre for the people in the community. It opened for use in September 2006 with the sports hall being used constantly throughout the winter. The childcare centre is open all year round as it caters for pre-school, toddler and afterschool. The sports hall has a beautiful maple floor and acoustagraph, which will make it a great venue for the music and dances being held there this summer.
