Outdoor Recreation
The Monadnock region is crisscrossed with hiking, biking, and cross-country ski trails, and dotted with lakes and ponds for swimming, boating, and fishing. Mount Monadnock, one of the most climbed mountains in the world, is the “backdrop” for Peterborough and the many towns and villages in southwest New Hampshire. Parents and young athletes will appreciate Peterborough’s wide range of organized youth programs, along with expansive town recreational offerings.

The recreation department supports local and travel
sport programs, such as soccer, basketball, baseball, softball,
lacrosse, tennis, and golf. There is an outdoor public pool where
swimming lessons are offered, tennis courts, ballfields, a summer
day camp for children at the playground, and a town beach at Cunningham
Pond. A new skateboard park will be under construction this summer.
The Monadnock Country Club in Peterborough offers a nine-hole golf
course, challenging enough for adults but small enough for young
players.
