We have two arenas in the municipality. The Minto Centennial Arena and the Chipman Centennial Arena. Our arenas provide recreation for children of all ages as well as adults, both in our municipality and the surrounding areas. Like many rural towns in New Brunswick, our arenas act as community centres where residents gather for hockey games and food, families spend time together during public skating, and many birthday parties are held.

There is the Bernie Sisk Memorial Soccer Field at Chipman Forest Avenue School as well as the Minto Memorial High School Soccer Field.
