O'Neill's GAA, represents the same parish area.[5] The club fields hurling and Gaelic football teams in competitions organised by the Cork county board and Imokilly division.

The Ballymacoda Bay SPA (Special Protection Area) and Ballymacoda SAC (Special Area of Conservation) are protected wetlands, designated to be of importance under the Ramsar Convention and EU legislation, located just north and east of the village.[6][7][8]
