Sports & Recreation
At St. Andrew’s, we believe that caring for body, mind, and spirit is an important part of spiritual growth and a healthy, connected community. Staying active supports strength, mobility, and overall well-being, helping us live fully and continue sharing life together.
Our Sports & Recreation programs offer welcoming, low-pressure opportunities to stay active, connect with others, and enjoy fellowship in a fun and supportive environment. In addition to church-led programs, St. Andrew’s also makes its facilities available for community use through rentals.
Presbyterian Recreation Programs
Programs with “Presbyterian” in the name are organized and hosted by St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. These are free, sports and recreational programs rooted in fellowship, respect, and community connection.

Community Use & Gym Rentals
St. Andrew’s also rents its gymnasium to outside groups who organize and run their own recreation programs, including Pickleball Clubs and Parry Sound’s own Georgian Jumpers troup. These and other groups operate independently and manage their own scheduling, registration, and leadership.
At times, community programs such as pickleball, badminton, or other recreational activities may be offered to the public, sometimes at a fee by external organizers using our space. For further information on these recreation programs, including participation details, costs, and inquiries, please contact the individual group organizer.
Visit our Events Calendar for these and all other sports and recreational programs at St. Andrew’s. You may also visit our Facility Rentals page for details on how to rent our facility for your group or event.
