The Lagoon Activity Centre

The Lagoon Activity Centre is an outdoor water sports facility in Rosscarbery, County Cork, set along the N71 coast road that links Clonakilty and Skibbereen in West Cork. Making the most of its sheltered waterside setting, the centre offers a range of on-the-water activities suited to families, groups and school or corporate outings.

The best-known attraction is the inflatable water park, a large floating course of slides, trampolines, a climbing wall and other obstacles set out over the water. Alongside it, visitors can take to the water by kayak, stand-up paddleboard or pedal boat, with lifejackets and wetsuits provided and staff on hand throughout. Because the water in the activity areas is shallow, non-swimmers can take part too.

Onsite facilities include changing rooms and hot showers, along with Jack’s Shack, a waterside spot serving coffee and food with views over the aqua park. The centre generally operates over the summer season; check the official website for current activities, prices, age requirements and opening times before visiting.
