Claremont Stadium for sale on open market

Claremont Stadium is for sale on the open market,  as a bid to secure its future for the town of Navan appears to have failed.

A bid put in by the Board of Directors of the facility is believed to have been rejected .

Trustees and directors had been making concerted bids to save the amenity, which has been providing sporting and community facilities in Navan for over 30 years.

A receiver was appointed by Ennis Property Finance some months ago.

The Board are believed to have been negoatiating with the receiver to try and buy the amenity.

However, it has now been put on the open market and the sale is being handled by REA Grimes, Ashbourne.

Claremont Stadium is home to sporting groups such as Parkvilla FC, Navan Athletic Club, Navan Badminton Association, Parkvilla Belles, Youthreach, MIDWAY and provides accommodation to Meath Sports Partnership, Special Olympics, Navan Career Start and the Louth Meath Education and Training Board.

Claremont Stadium opened its doors in 1981 and is a voluntary run social enterprise, which has been an invaluable resource for the development of sports, education and social opportunities that are affordable and accessible to people from all walks of life.

Many local organisations and clubs call the stadium home and use the fantastic facilities which include an Olympic standard eight lane track, 400m tartan athletics track and field stadium, soccer grounds and multi activity sports hall which caters for badminton, soccer, basketball, Olympic handball and more.

There are also rooms available for training courses, meetings, seminars, practicals and exams.
