Accessibility Information:

All of our Council facilities are inclusive for both disabled adults and children. Disability Sport Hubs were launched at the Valley Leisure Centre, Allen Park and Crumlin Leisure Centre in March this year. The Hubs have disability sports equipment including twelve sports wheelchairs, one rugby wheelchair, three track racers, five hand cycles, four tandems, three trikes, three boccia sets and one sensory activity pack. These are run in partnership with Disability Sport NI and have proven very popular with our disabled residents. We have ongoing upgrades to our facilities to further improve our accessibility such as Changing Facilities and Inclusive Signage. We offer many sports and programmes to both adults and children with a disability. The Council has 10 Every Body Active Coaches who have various target groups with ‘People with a Disability’ being one of them. The coaches schedule work with disabled groups with sport specific sessions such as rugby, netball, athletics, hockey, gymnastics, football, fundamental games and exercise classes.
