Visitors to Galway City Centre now have an opportunity to combine convenient parking with supporting a worthwhile local cause.
The Bish Rowing Club is managing the car park at St. Joseph’s “The Bish” School as a fundraising initiative to help replace its ageing fleet of rowing boats. As a school-based club, it relies entirely on fundraising and the generosity of the local community to provide equipment and opportunities for its young members.
Situated just a short walk from Eyre Square and Galway’s bustling shopping streets, the car park offers an ideal base for anyone spending the day in the city. Whether you are enjoying the excitement of the Galway Races, exploring the city’s attractions, or meeting friends for coffee, lunch or dinner, parking at The Bish means your visit will also support local youth sport.
The car park, located within the grounds of St. Joseph’s “The Bish” School (H91 C3X5 ), is open seven days a week from 8.30am to 6.30pm, with both hourly and daily parking rates available. Its central location makes it a practical choice for shoppers, tourists and commuters alike.
Every parking fee contributes directly to the club’s fundraising efforts, helping to replace boats that have served generations of rowers and ensuring today’s young athletes have safe, modern equipment to train and compete. For many members, rowing provides far more than sporting success, fostering teamwork, discipline, confidence and lifelong friendships.
By choosing to park at The Bish, motorists are doing more than securing a convenient city-centre parking space. They are making a direct investment in the future of one of Galway’s long-standing rowing clubs and helping the next generation of young rowers continue their journey on the water.
For anyone visiting Galway, it is a simple choice—park locally, park conveniently, and help keep The Bish Rowing Club moving forward.
