Recreation Department

The Hamilton Wenham Recreation Department offers a diverse range of programs aimed at enhancing the quality of life for all residents, with a focus on meeting physical, recreational, and social needs. We encourage lifelong learning and wellness through engaging activities, educational opportunities, and community events, all designed to bring people together and promote an active, connected lifestyle. Whether you’re looking to stay active, try something new, or connect with others, we have something for everyone.

Our center is a fun and safe place for kids to hang out and have a blast! With tons of activities, games, and exciting events, there’s always something new to explore. Located on Union Street in South Hamilton, our team is here to make sure every visit is filled with energy, fun, and opportunities to connect with friends.

We offer fieldtrips, school vacation camps, family nights and activities at Patton Park, including the swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, the beautiful Patton Homestead on Asbury Street, Pingree Park, Iron Rail and Donovan Field. We also have sport rental connections with many community organizations, area schools and nonprofit sites like Pingree School, the Bennett Center at Gordon College (Wenham) and Castle Neck Farm.

Be sure to check out our latest activity brochure and follow us on social media for photos, news, and updates.
