There is also a sports centre (with both indoor and outdoor facilities), three gyms, two swimming pools, a children's playground, and a number of sports and leisure clubs.

  Nearby (and within walking distance of the town) are the Curragh Plains, Moulds Bog (Roseberry), and Pollardstown Fen.
  The Gables Guest House & Leisure Centre is located on Kilcullen Road and has a 20m swimming pool and gym.
