What we can expect from Dublin's new White Water Rafting Centre

Plans for the new white water rafting centre for the Dublin Docklands have been revealed in a video showing a 3D model of the new attraction.

The video shows an inner flat pool area encompassed by a canoe course.

The centre will be open to the public and will also serve as a training facility to aid the emergency services.

The rafting facility is hoped to serve as an 'anchor' to improve the range of leisure activity being made available along the River Liffey.

The proposal states that developers intend to demolish the former Dublin Docklands Development Authority office building and instead erect two new quayside buildings.

Construction will go ahead next yearif the plans get approved during the full council meeting next month.

The project could cost around €22 million and take over 18 months to finish, theJournal.ie reports.

Dublin City Council said: "The White Water Rafting Centre (WWRC) will provide facilities for a wide range of people who wish to participate in water sports and leisure activities in a city centre location.

"It will serve members of the public who wish to kayak or canoe or go river rafting and will serve white water course customers, including tourist visitors, club canoeists, elite athletes and emergency services."
