The vision for this amenity is that The Manor Fields will be sustainable and have recreational facilities for people of all age groups and all abilities. The development of The Manor Fields is a multi-year project and key themes of its development are: multi-purpose, all inclusive, multi-sport, community owned, all abilities, flagship, not for profit, socially inclusive, cradle to the grave, covering the widest possible geographical catchment area.
Following the community consultation process and subsequent Masterplan first created in 2010 (in conjunction with the University of Limerick), and since updated regularly, the latest update in 2022. Working closely with our Partners, Pobal, West Limerick Resources and The JP McManus Pro-Am, The Manor Fields is now widely recognised as becoming one of the best recreational amenities in the Mid-West region.
