Mayo Outdoor Recreation Plan 2025-29

Mayo County Council, in partnership with Mayo Sports Partnership, is developing a County Outdoor Recreation Plan 2025-2029 to maximise the potential of Mayo’s land, air and water-based recreation provision in line with Embracing Ireland’s Outdoors National Outdoor Recreation Strategy.

As a key stakeholder we would be grateful if you could please complete this tailored questionnaire to feed into this process. Please answer as much as you can. The estimated time to complete this survey is between 10-20 minutes and will depend on the level of your role and responsibility within the outdoor recreation sector in Mayo. Following completion of this survey, we would also appreciate if you could email any supporting information to kreilly@mayococo.ie.

Please note, for the purposes of this questionnaire (and in alignment with the National Outdoor Recreation Strategy) ‘outdoor recreation’ is defined as 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 e.g. golf, football, show jumping or motorised activities e.g. quads/scramblers, except for motorised mobility aids. More information on this definition can be found here - Embracing Ireland’s Outdoors National Outdoor Recreation Strategy 2023-27

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this new County Outdoor Recreation Plan for Mayo.
