Glenalbyn House

The grounds called Linden Lea pitch measuring 6.5 acres (26,000 m2) was purchased by Kilmacud Crokes GAA in 1963, taking ownership on May 4, 1964 and was named Páirc De Burca. Glenalbyn House was owned by the Wilkinson family and was then purchased in 1965 and opened in 1966. On July 7, 1996 the west wing was opened. It has dressing rooms and a gym on the ground floor with a Bar on the first floor looking out on Tennis courts. The House is now marketed as Glenalbyn Sports club and conference center.[1]

Swimming Pool

A 33 metre public swimming pool within the club grounds was operated by Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council until December 2013,[2] when it was suddenly closed due to the dangerous condition of the roof.[3] The pool has since been filled in, with derelict buildings remaining on site. As of January 2020, official plans were being put forward to build a replacement on the same site.[4]
