Each station has 6 lockers with a variety of equipment to suit various needs and abilities, such as Boules, Spikeball, Exercise equipment and more.
It’s easy to get started, just open the app, select the location by zooming in on the map to Ireland and the area you are in and then select the station.

You then choose which locker you want to open, follow the prompts to open the door, remove the equipment and close the door afterwards.

Once you are finished with the equipment you reopen the box using the app as your SmartKey. Replace the equipment and close the door and you will asked to take a photo of the equipment inside the locker and once that is confirmed, your session is over.

If you have any issues, questions or suggestions regarding BoxUp you can leave feedback on the app or contact Ian Farrell, Fingal County Council's Active Cities Dublin Coordinator at [email protected].
