Summary Ballawley Park is a small suburban park with a mixture of forest, mature trees and open land. The short course will be suitable for children and with all controls inside the park. The Medium and Long courses will make use of the surrounding housing estates and the grounds of the IMI (Irish Management Institute). There are no major road crossings however participants need to be aware of traffic and pedestrians in the area. Ideal for families, beginners and sprint orienteering enthusiasts.
