Clara Lara Funpark is an outdoor adventure park situated in the Wicklow Mountains focused on active, screen-free physical play. The site features multiple water-based attractions including high-speed slides, obstacle courses over water, and a river for rafting. Land-based activities include zip lines, mini-golf, go-karts, and an extensive forest playground. The park utilizes the natural landscape of the Avonmore River valley for its layout. Most facilities are designed for children and families to participate in outdoor challenges. Visitors are permitted to bring their own picnic supplies to use the designated barbecue and dining areas throughout the grounds. The terrain includes grass, gravel paths, and water-heavy zones requiring appropriate footwear.
The raised viewing points overlooking the main water slide area provide the best perspective of the action.
Bring a full change of clothes and extra towels, as getting wet is inevitable.
Pack your own charcoal and food if you plan to use the provided barbecue stations.
Wear water-friendly shoes that stay securely on your feet, such as strapped sandals or old trainers, rather than flip-flops.
Do not wear footwear that easily slips off, as these will likely be lost in the water obstacle courses.
Open seasonally from spring through late summer; closed during autumn and winter months.
Dress in clothes suitable for muddy, wet, and active outdoor play; swimwear is recommended under clothing.
