Leisure Centre is an 18 minute film shot in Ballymun, Dublin, Ireland - the site of a massive regeneration programme. Featuring a cast of local residents, Leisure Centre follows a young man through the rooms and corridors of the building where he works as he struggles to come to terms with his new role as a father.

Leisure Centre is a gentle and thoughtful allegory of hope and optimism in the face of major personal challenges and can be seen as a metaphor for the regeneration of Ballymun and of other places undergoing such enormous change.
