GAA could add abseiling to thrills and spills of Croker

VISITORS to Croke Park may soon enjoy the thrill of jumping off the stadium’s roof onto Hill 16 under plans being proposed by the GAA.

A sitting of An Bord Pleanála in Dublin heard yesterday that the construction of a roof walkway on Croke Park would create a “unique” tourist attraction which would allow 360-degree views of the city and many of its famous landmarks.

Under plans developed by the GAA, visitors on the proposed Croke Park Rooftop Tour will also be able to abseil or zipline from the 35m roof.
