Royal Canal
The Royal Canal provides a biodiversity and amenity link from the River Liffey in Dublin to the River Shannon near Termonbarry. The importance of this route is reflected in its designation as a proposed Natural Heritage Area. The Canal and adjacent pathways are managed by Waterways Ireland.
The canal bank is a wonderful amenity for walking, running and cycling. The Canal basin between the 5th and 6th lock of the Canal is used for canoe polo tournaments, and is considered the most suitable location for such a use within the administrative area of Dublin City Council. A local group, Cabra4Youth, also operates a kayaking and cycle club in the area.
