The Shrewsbury Parks and Recreation Department provides a source of pride for our community. Our department manages several facilities indoors and outdoors. We oversee the City Center which includes 5 meeting rooms, a Grand Ballroom, gymnasium, as well as a weight room.  Our four City parks include walking trails, pavilions, athletic fields, tennis courts and a family aquatic center. With these outdoor spaces, over 80% of Shrewsbury residents live within a 10-minute walk of a park.

In addition to the facilities the Shrewsbury Parks and Recreation department hosts a variety of Special events including our Annual Fall Festival, Tree lighting, and Summer Park Parties. Our staff provides a wide variety of programs suitable for all ages and abilities, including adult day trips, summer camps, youth theater and a range of fitness classes among others.
