Recreation
From adult to youth programs, Chautauqua has embraced the recreative experience and a healthy lifestyle as essential to the Chautauqua experience. Recreational opportunities include sailing, boating, fishing and swimming on Chautauqua Lake as well as a 36-hole golf course, fast-dry and hard-surface tennis courts, playing fields, playgrounds and fitness centers.
Chautauqua Health & Fitness Center
Chautauqua Health & Fitness is dedicated to helping you succeed, whatever your health and fitness goals: weight loss, increased flexibility, sports training, muscle toning, medical rehab, stress reduction, or general fitness and conditioning.
Sports Club
Chautauqua Sports Club offers a wide variety of recreational and leisure activities such as kayak, canoe, standup paddleboards and paddle boat rentals and shuffleboard.
Swimming
With an extensive and scenic waterfront, Chautauqua has always celebrated its connection to the lake, and swimming has remained a popular past-time. The 25 yard indoor pool at the Turner Community Center is open daily throughout the year for lap swimming, open family swims and private rentals.
Golf Club
The attraction to Chautauqua remains the same today as it has been throughout the years — a golf experience built on service and quality; a golf experience designed for challenge and the enjoyment of this great game; a golf experience mindful of the importance of environmental stewardship; and, with two four-star rated courses, a golf experience that offers real choice and variety.
Tennis Center
The Chautauqua Tennis Center, which opened in June 2004, is located directly behind the Turner Community Center on Route 394 and boasts eight state-of-the-art, fast-dry courts.
Sailing
Chautauqua’s Sailing Department presents a comprehensive curriculum of one-week sailing courses. The courses have been carefully designed to advance the sailing skills of all — youth to adult and novice to advanced sailors.
Youth Recreation
In addition to the plethora of activities young people will find within the framework of the Boys’ & Girls’ Club, Children’s School and Group One, there are a variety of other activities for them to enjoy—from tennis and golf to swimming and sailing and more.
CHQ Trail
The trail is open to the public from sunrise to sunset all spring, summer and fall for recreational and educational purposes, including hiking, birdwatching and play.
