A new boxing training facility in Mounttown, County Dublin, has officially opened following completion of works.

The new modern pavilion, located to the rear of the Mounttown community facility, was completed as part of the Sports Facilities Strategy, Space to Play and forms part of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council’s ongoing programme of improvements.

The design of the facility, which will provide Monkstown Boxing Club and local clubs with a dedicated space to train, was carefully planned to maximise the space and create a welcoming environment for users.

The boxing training area runs east to west, while support facilities such as changing rooms, toilets, and storage are located at the front of the site. The pavilion includes a large flexible hall space with clear storey lighting and natural ventilation, as well as a kitchenette and medical room. The new facility was constructed in a previously used carpark.
