Killingworth’s park and recreation programs are run by a seven-member commission appointed by the Board of Selectmen. The Park and Recreation Commission plans the development of municipal recreation facilities for the children, youth, and adults of the town; establishes and maintains those facilities; and supervises and adopts rules for their use. The commission works closely with the Haddam-Killingworth Recreation Authority. Commission members serve three-year terms, without compensation.

Killingworth currently has playing fields at four locations

• Sheldon Park: multipurpose (field hockey, football, lacrosse, soccer), baseball, horseshoe pits, fishing, playground
• Rocco M. Reale Memorial Field: Little League Baseball
• Bethke Field: softball, baseball practice field
• Killingworth Recreational Park: multi-purpose; access for hikers and riders

The Park and Recreation Commission normally meets on the second Monday of each month.
