Waterford Sports Partnership and Waterford City and County Libraries have joined forces to provide you with a new and exciting physical activity opportunity. You can now borrow a set of activator poles from seven designated libraries in Waterford: Ardkeen, Carrickphierish, Central, Dungarvan, Kilmacthomas, Lismore, and Tramore.
ACTIVATOR Poles are an adaption of Nordic Walking poles and have been developed by Canadian Therapists to promote balance and improve mobility. A full suite of support resources has been created to support you on how to use a borrowed set of activator poles. You can pick up a simple explanation leaflet in the library or watch our simplified support video on your smartphone or tablet device.
To be eligible to borrow a set of activator poles you must activate a FREE library membership. Full support will be provided by library staff to help you to activate a membership. If you’re already a library member no further action is required just pop into the library.
There’s never been a better chance to explore paths, trails, and greenways in Waterford with a set of Activator Poles borrowed from a local library.
Activator Poles are available to borrow from the following libraries:
Ardkeen, Carrickphierish, Central, Dungarvan, Kilmacthomas, Lismore, and Tramore
