Mountain Log Summer 2025

113 The Global Action Plan for Physical Activity (GAPPA) Framework and its quadrants – Create Active Societies, Environments, People and Systems – were used to enable stakeholders to align the work of Get Waterford Walking with their own organisational objectives and strategic plans. Waterford city and county has an abundance of inviting spaces to enjoy – the greenway, coastal paths and beaches, forest trails, mountains, rivers, lakes, sports clubs and public parks. Notably, and importantly, the work of the stakeholders provides accessible opportunities for key target groups to be active through programmes and events. The Local Sports Partnership, the local authority, National Governing Bodies, Active Cities, Healthy Waterford, Active Travel, SETU, Green Schools, the Waterford Chamber of Commerce, HSE, Rural and Outdoor Recreation Officers, community groups, social prescribing, the community safety team and Age Friendly Ireland are all significant contributors, and are key organisations to deliver for walking – through their networks, clients, members and the population at large.
