Whether it's hiking, biking, golf, tennis, swimming, cross country skiing, roller blading or whatever, Simsbury can give you as much as you can handle - and then some. Take your pick of four state parks - Stratton Brook, Talcott Mountain, Penwood and Great Pond. The town also operates twelve municipal parks.
The Farmington Valley Greenway is a 26-mile, multi-use trail running through five towns of central Connecticut with connections to many more miles of walking and biking trails. It is a ten-foot wide, wheelchair accessible trail designed for walking, jogging, biking, inline skating and other activities. A spur trail, the Farmington River Trail, is substantially completed and follows abandoned rail beds from Farmington through Unionville, Burlington, Collinsville and Canton and then back to the main trail in Simsbury.
The town also owns and operates the Simsbury Farms Recreational Complex. Spread out over 235 rolling acres, the "Farms" is the hub of recreational activity and includes an 18-hole public golf course, an artificial outdoor ice rink, four swimming pools, outdoor tennis and paddle tennis courts, a clubhouse, outdoor basketball courts, a family fitness trail, picnic areas and indoor program areas.
