Was Kylemore Karting the only Indoor Karting track in Dublin?

    Having a debate, as to whether Kylemore Karting was the only/first indoor karting track in Dublin. I do know there was one in an underground car park in Bray once upon a time. Just wondering if any other forumite, knew of any other location in Dublin where they used to do indoor karting?

    Any ideas?

    There used to be one around Dolphins Barn near the ice-rink (possibly next door?). I think it's gone a long time now though.

    What about the one in Santry?

    Also there was a mini karting track in Spawell once upon a time.

    Yep, there is/was a small indoor track in Santry at Kart City. It's been a while since I was there.

    Thanks guys,
    So far we've had in the greater dublin area:

    Indoor
    Bray - Underground carpark, now closed, unsure of exact location
    Dolpins Bar - Beside old ice rink, now closed, presumably location knocked down in boom?
    Santry - At the Raceway outdoor track, taken over by F1 Karting, seems to be used for paintball?
    Phibsboro - Business name registered in 2000, location at Cross Guns Bridge? Unsure if still open
    Kylemore - Old favourite... still to the good

    Outdoor
    Spawell - Easily seen from road, now closed, very small track
    Santry - Big track easily seen from M50, has two outdoor tracks 400m & 500m

    Here Hilly Bill.... Is that one open or closed in Phibsboro?

    The one in phibsboro used to be where the apartments along teh canal are now if I'm not mistaken. They've been there 10 years or so I reckon, maybe more.

    The Bray underground car park was under the bowling alley, if I remember correctly it closed roughly around the late 90's
