The Fairfield Parks and Recreation’s facilities feature a variety of entertainment and fitness options. A 25-yard indoor pool, sauna, hot tub, three basketball courts, six pickleball courts, a racquetball court, indoor cycling, professional weight and cardio equipment, a 200-yard walking track, and a variety of fitness classes onsite are favorite features at the recreation center, located at 1000 W. Burlington Ave. in Fairfield.
Adult volleyball and basketball leagues meet throughout the winter. The aquatic center offers private and group swim lessons. Guests can participate in the “Pacers Program” to walk the track for $1, and 5k races throughout the year. Holiday events such as the Haunted Hayride and Easter Egg Hunt are a couple of annual standards as well as youth soccer and flag football in the fall. During the summer, Fairfield Parks and Recreation partners with First Friday Art Walk to show movies in Central Park on the third Friday of the month starting in June and the last movie of the season playing in October.
Hours, updates, current fitness class schedules, and announcements for upcoming events and programs are posted on the Fairfield Parks and Recreation Facebook page and website.
