Welcome to Meath Outdoors!

Meath Local Sports Partnership works with National Governing Bodies and other organisations to develop and promote a variety of outdoor sports, to support the development of outdoor programmes in Meath. Meath LSP aim to encourage more people to be active in the great outdoors.

As part of the national initiative – ‘Embracing Ireland’s Outdoors, The National Outdoor Recreation Strategy 2023-2027’- Meath has been chosen as one of 6 pilot counties to employ a County Outdoor Recreation Officer to help develop and deliver a county outdoor recreation plan.

A project team has been formed to oversee the development of the plan, but it is you the stakeholders who will inform us of what the needs are in Meath and the areas for development and improvement and where our strengths and weaknesses lie to get to our goal.

  • In late 2024 outdoor consultants – Outscape were hired to format and develop the plan
  • Outscape will conduct 1 to 1 meetings with the project team and key stakeholders
  • In early 2025 there will be a number of public engagements both in person and online
  • Mid 2025 should see the launch of the County Outdoor Recreation Plan, formation of the County Outdoor Recreation Committee and Stakeholder Forum

What is Outdoor Recreation?:

By ‘outdoor recreation’ we mean activities that take place in the natural environment, such as walking, canoeing, mountain biking, orienteering and wild swimming.

It does not include activities that take place outdoors on confined courses or pitches (such as golf, football, show jumping) or motorised activities (such as quads/scramblers) with the exception of motorised mobility aids.
