Leisureplex Blanchardstown
Change of use to retail approved in February 2026; no closing date announced.
Sixteen lanes facing an uncertain future
In February 2026 Fingal County Council granted permission to turn the two-storey Leisureplex building, across from Blanchardstown Centre, into a single retail unit. Objections from local residents, a local TD and the Blanchardstown Junior Bowling Club, which uses the lanes, did not stop the decision. When we checked on 11 November 2026 no closing date had been announced and the branch was still listed on the Leisureplex website, so phone before you travel.
For now the centre offers 16 lanes, according to Tenpin Ireland, with kiddie ramps and ball walls for small children. It is the only Leisureplex with Q-Zar laser tag, sold in 20-minute games, and it also has a Zoo Playland soft play area. Leagues, a monthly leaderboard with cash prizes and tournaments are run across the chain.
