The Park and Recreation Commission plans the development of municipal recreation facilities for the children, youth, and adults of the town; establishes and maintains those facilities; and supervises and adopts rules for their use. The commission works closely with the Haddam-Killingworth Recreation Authority. Commission members serve three-year terms, without compensation.

- Sheldon Park: baseball and softball fields, tennis courts, basketball court, horseshoe pits, fishing,adult fitness track/equipment, playground, pavilion
- Rocco M. Reale Memorial Field: Little League Baseball
- Bethke Field: softball, baseball practice field
- Eric W. Auer Killingworth Recreational Park: multi-purpose; playground, access for hikers and riders
