Recreation Programs

The City of Fredericton Recreation and Culture Division has created a sport and leisure directory. The directory is intended to give residents a one-stop-shop of local sports and recreation groups/club/resources and to help them find activities that interest them.  

Sport and Leisure Directory 

A free walking club for all interested adults. This group meets every Wednesday at 10am from early May through to Mid-October for a one-hour long walk. Participants register on site at their first walk. Walk routes and meeting/parking sites are listed below.  For information contact Kathryn.Baird@Fredericton.ca
