ONE-WAY TRAFFIC SYSTEM

The management of Carrick-on-Shannon Sports Complex have asked us to point out to the parents of all our members that a ONE-WAY SYSTEM operates in the car park of the Complex. All motorists MUST enter by the entrance on the main road and exit by the entrance nearest Aura Leitrim Leisure. 

With the safety of our members our primary concern, we ask that all motorists exercise the utmost caution in the Complex car park particularly at 5pm and 6pm when there are a lot of young children entering and exiting the Complex. A failure to do so would see the car park closed for our member's use in the future.
