Sports and Recreation

Hyde Park enjoys a wide variety of possibilities for sports, fitness and recreational activities year round. Here you will find information on sports and recreational leagues, fields, courts, courses, rinks, trails, ponds and pools. Since this page is designed to encourage Hyde Park residents to get and stay active in the recreational activity of their choice, some nearby sporting opportunities and venues not technically in Hyde Park have been included. If you have the energy to start a local league, some great tools to do it await you at boston sportsvite.com If you know of a location or league that should be added here, or have updated information, please email me.
