South Dublin County Council (SDCC) is now inviting Expressions of Interest from community and local partnership groups under the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS) 2026/2027.

This scheme supports the development and improvement of outdoor recreation facilities, including:

  • Walking and hiking routes
  • Canoeing and water-based activities
  • Mountain biking trails
  • Orienteering and wild swimming

Projects should generally be located in rural or countryside areas, although some linked and water-based recreational projects within town environs may also be eligible.

How to Apply

Community groups are invited to submit an Expression of Interest outlining their proposed project.
