Activities & Sports
Adults
The Kingston community has a wide range of leisure activities and programs for adult men and women. Many activities are seasonal pastimes that are generally enjoyed during the warm weather months. Some examples are birdwatching, camping and sailing.
Other activities are available throughout the year. Some examples are fitness and yoga classes, bowling, dancing, playing bridge, attending lectures, art classes or participating in a musical activity, such as a choir or community orchestra.
The city offers many opportunities for adults to stay physically active through organized team sports. Various organizations sponsor hockey, volleyball, basketball, soccer, badminton, cricket, swimming and other sports for adult participants.
Tennis is another popular year-round activity in Kingston. The city has both indoor tennis clubs and many parks and green spaces with outdoor tennis courts. Lawn bowling is another activity available in Kingston during the summer.
Kingston also offers activities and programs for people with mental and physical disabilities. One example is Able Sail Kingston, a local group that teaches recreational and competitive sailing to people with disabilities.
The municipality publishes a Recreation and Leisure Magazine twice a year (spring and fall) that lists programs and activities for people of all ages and abilities. Free copies are distributed throughout Kingston and can be obtained from City Hall, libraries and recreation centres. The magazine can also be downloaded from the city's website.
