Parks, Pool, & Recreation

Joint Recreation Clubs and Programming

There are many wonderful opportunities for active and passive recreation in the Borough! Chatham Borough and Chatham Township partner to provide sports and recreation programs for both youth and adults through our Joint Recreation Department. We offer a full youth recreation program including baseball, softball, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, football, cheerleading, and field hockey. Several sports are run as clubs. Information for these programs can be found on CivicRec.
