We have the sporting life!
Cornwall presents countless opportunities for recreation all year round — be it an organized sport or a simple walk in the park — and all happening just five minutes from your doorstep. Our city is great for families and individuals of all ages interested in staying active, staying healthy, and staying involved.
The City is sprinkled liberally with over 40 parks totalling 750 acres, and recreational facilities include modern gyms, hockey arenas, and the gem of the St. Lawrence — the Cornwall Civic Complex — which includes an arena with seating for 5000, convention facilities, and a state-of-the-art Aquatic Centre. Next door to the Complex is the Cornwall Curling Centre, Marina 200 and Lamoureux Park.
The Benson Centre is a brand new $32 million multi-sport facility that has proven to be a big hit with both local and visiting athletes. Located just off Brookdale Avenue, the Benson Centre features:
- 3 NHL Sized Rinks
- Field House with soccer pitch and walking track
- Tennis Court
Of course, if you prefer to hit the links, you’ll want to check out our world-class golf courses. These include Summerheights Golf Links, where you can choose from two beautiful 18-hole courses, and the world class Cornwall Golf and Country Club along the St. Lawrence River. Memberships at either course cost less than $2000!
We have hardly even mentioned the river yet! In recreational terms, the St. Lawrence River means not only boating, fishing, and all kinds water sports, but also 75 km of waterfront bike trails, ball diamonds, and more.
As if that isn’t enough to keep you busy, Cornwall is also home to countless events. You find upcoming events on CornwallTourism.com.
