Friends of Sunapee Recreation is a volunteer-led nonprofit organization committed to enhancing recreational opportunities for all ages and all abilities in the Sunapee region. We believe that recreation isn’t just about sports or facilities—it’s about community, inclusion, and shared experiences that enrich lives and strengthen local connections.

Our mission is to support and promote recreational programs, events, and infrastructure that bring people together—whether it's kids discovering new passions, families bonding outdoors, seniors staying active, or individuals with disabilities enjoying accessible and welcoming spaces. We advocate for facilities and programming that serve everyone, ensuring that no one is left on the sidelines.

Beyond the social and wellness benefits, recreation plays a critical role in Sunapee's local economy. Vibrant recreational spaces and events draw visitors, encourage second-home owners to stay longer, and support local businesses such as restaurants, shops, rental services, and lodging providers. By investing in recreation, we’re also investing in year-round economic vitality, job creation, and the long-term sustainability of our community.

Through partnerships, fundraising, and community action, Friends of Sunapee Recreation is proud to be a catalyst for positive growth—helping Sunapee stay healthy, connected, and economically resilient for generations to come.
