For recreational fun residents are encouraged to visit the Shelton Lakes Recreation Path or the SportsCenter of Connecticut.

A popular place for sports entertainment and leisurely fun include the Sports Center of Connecticut.

Since there is a wide variety of outdoor activities to choose from in Shelton, it is good to be aware that these activities can be dangerous when faced with severe weather conditions. Since dangerous weather can weaken branches and cause them to fall on outdoor places, these activities can be threatened.
