The Port Macquarie-Hastings region offers a wide range of physical and passive recreation opportunities.

Council provides and maintains a wide range of sporting fields, parks and reserves, walking and cycling tracks for the enjoyment of the community and our visitors.

If you are looking for some ideas about how you get become more physically active. The North Coast Area Health Promotion Service has compiled a physical activity directory that provides a quick and easy way to help you find an activity to suit your needs. It lists a diverse range of physical activity options suitable for all fitness levels and includes activities such as Aqua classes, badminton, dance, gentle exercise, Tai Chi, tennis and walking groups to name just a few. Finding suitable activities in your local area can sometimes be a challenge. Most people are often unsure of what types of activities are out there, where to find them and how to access them.  There may also be activities that are not included in the list. Be sure to check out other sources of information such as our local newspapers and community notices for other alternatives
