Recreation Policy
Sport and recreation are part of the broader cultural infrastructure that helps
to define the image of an area. It can play a vital role in the economic, social
and cultural life of the county, as was recognised in the public consultation
that took place for the development of Outlook, the ten-year economic, social
and cultural strategy for Co. Wicklow
Sport can contribute to the regeneration of communities and build civic pride,
along with wider social policies. It can enhance the quality of life of
individuals, contributing to their physical and mental health. It can contribute
to healthy communities in fostering a sense of belonging and community ties.
The Sports and Recreation Policy will on adoption inform the County Development
Plan and a specific policy in relation to the Sports and Recreation Policy will
be included in the County Development Plan 2004.
