Kilkenny’s brand new leisure centre boasts a 25m pool, an outdoor running track, floodlit astroturf pitches, gym and aerobics studio among other things. It’s easily the best(actually, I think it’s the only) leisure centre in Kilkenny. You can join up long term or you can pay for once-off pool/gym sessions. Look out for their special off peak rates for the pool where you can swim for one hour for only 4 euro.
