Positive experience: The open-plan room we used which could also be used as a sports hall..., and many other purposes too I am sure..., was light-filled, bright and had no direct sunlight. All massive pluses

Positive experience: It's great that the centre is here in town. It includes a library, gym and various other sports facilities also for children. There is also a small café. In the gym, unfortunately, the equipment is quite worn, weights are lying around everywhere and have not been tidied up. The equipment is used without a towel and only very few athletes disinfect it afterwards. You hear very loud techno music all the time.

Donabate Portrane Community Centre

Many thanks for taking the time to leave us some feedback. We are very sorry to hear that you feel this way regarding the gym area. We always urge all members to return their equipment after use and we strive to have instructors monitoring the floor on a constant basis. Our equipment is not the most modern, but we try to keep it to the highest possible standard where possible. We do not require members to carry a gym towel as we provide disposable towels and sanitising sprays throughout the gym. We feel this is more hygienic and is easier to control on the larger scale. We wish to see you down to our centre again in the near future and we hope that your next visit is a more positive visit! Warm regards, DPCC Team

Fantastic experience: I love this gem of a place you would never get board a gym a cafe if your feeling hungry after your workout and library upstairs i used to always go to that gym every monday before covid with all my collugues

Suzanne Stapleton 3 years ago

Positive experience: This is a lovely centre, cafe, toilets, reception all smashing, clean, modern the staff were lovely...But the surface in the gym is a tiled floor which is not really suitable for underage basketball in my opinion....when the kids hit the floor during the game they had much more impact and injury and bruising than we normally see in games on wooden floors.

Donabate Portrane Community Centre

Hi Suzanne, many thanks for taking the time to leave us a review and for your kind words of praise. This has been brought to our Board of Members' attention and we have had a professional inspection on the surface of our Sports Hall. We have been advised that this is a top of the range floor for multi-use playing surface for various indoor sports. But, we are currently looking at having the entire surface re-sanded and re-sealed, which will make a big difference in the near future. We look forward to welcoming you back to our Centre at your leisure.

Positive experience: Staff are lovely and friendly , don’t get me wrong , staff I’d give 5 stars , equipment is alittle under the weather needs some TLC especially the accessories , few extra plates wouldn’t go a stare, you could Reupholster the leather, Open weekend 8/9.am instead of 10am Open weekdays a 6 am finish at 10:30 pm This isn’t the Westwood but it’s a lovley little gym with alittte work it could be a 4 start gym , Add more equipment or a separate room of equipment it could be a 5 star easy

Positive experience: It was difficult as an outsider to understand where on the highway is the entrance to the building. Maybe useful to put up signs to identify where the entrance is. Inside it was ok, but some of the chairs are broken. People are very friendly though.
