Recreation Department

This department strives to provide a wide variety of activities for residents of all ages for all seasons. Residents may choose from programs such as soccer, archery, field hockey, pottery workshops, karate, kickboxing, T-ball, basketball, and skiing for children, and yoga, exercise classes, and basketball for adults. As well as many Senior Citizen programs.  In addition the department sponsors a free Senior Citizen’s Picnic, Easter Egg Hunt, Winter Fun Day, Halloween Party and summer concerts.

We are always looking for volunteers to help in these great, affordable activities for the townspeople.  If you are interested in giving back, contact Colleen at 860-491-2249 or by email at: parkandrec@goshenct.gov.

This extremely active department also runs an affordable six-week summer day camp for children ages 3-12 at the town-owned facility called Camp Cochipianee on Beach Street. Camp Cochipianee is a 57-acre facility, which has a running/walking track, swimming area, soccer field, baseball diamond, picnic areas, trails, horseshoe pit, and bocce court.  Check out the Camp Cochipianee page for more information.
