Ballintleva Handball Alley, County Roscommon

The handball alley at Ballintleva County Roscommon is undoubtedly the most modern monument selected to be part of this scheme. Though it was constructed relatively recently, the structure is of great social and community significance.

The handball alley at Ballintleva, which was built in the 1930s, was a focal point for the community for generations until it was recently deemed unsafe. The focus of this project is to revive the long standing tradition of handball in the area as handball was once a very popular sport in Roscommon.

The Community Group: Ballintleva National School Board of Management

The handball alley at Ballintleva County Roscommon is situated beside the local national school. The aim of the Board of Management is to conserve the monument for future generations.
