Enhance your fitness journey with BoxUp - sports equipment sharing coming soon!

The BoxUp lockers, powered by solar energy, will contain a variety of sports equipment tailored to the facilities and amenities in Marlay and Kilbogget Park. These lockers can be easily accessed using a free app, making it convenient for users to borrow equipment for local sports and activities. 

Angela Monaghan, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown's Sports Partnership Active Cities Officer, added, 

"BoxUp is a great example of strong collaboration. Our Sports Partnership, dlr County Council, and Active Cities have come together to deliver a much-needed resource in these areas, encouraging more ways for people, young and old, to get active in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown." 

Mary Corry, National Active Cities Officer leading the project, emphasized the importance of collective effort, stating:

"Working collectively to identify practical solutions is a key focus of the project. We know that for some, accessing equipment can be a real barrier to their participation, and with so many facilities, parks, and open spaces across our cities, it's important we try to meet the needs of individuals to enable them to be active." 

The installation of the BoxUp 6-locker units at Kilbogget Park and Marlay Park marks a significant step in providing accessible sports equipment to the community and promoting an active lifestyle. This initiative aligns with the goals of the Active Cities project, and the DLR Sports Partnership and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council are excited to witness the positive impact it will have on the local community. 

The lockers will come on stream this Summer.
