Active Cities Dublin

Sport Ireland’s Active Cities project, is funded by the dormant accounts fund & invests in sport and physical activity initiatives in Ireland’s five largest cities – Dublin, Limerick , Waterford, Cork and Galway, with the aim of creating, maintaining and increasing the numbers of citizens, regardless of age and ability, participating in sport and physical activity in their city.

Guided by the four guiding principles of the Global Action Plan for Physical Activity (GAPPA) developed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2018, Active Cities will strive to create social norms about the benefits of sport and physical activity, create opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to be active, work in partnership to increase physical activity & decrease inactivity, and create/maintain environments where sport & physical activity can happen, working toward healthier lifestyles of their citizens.
