In town, you’ll also find attractions rich with history; abundant conservation and public lands; and a full roster of community sponsored activities ranging from sports and leisure to the arts and music. With a distinctive mix of history, charm and vitality, Pelham draws visitors from near and far.

Pelham offers a variety of activities and attractions for its residents and visitors. Our Parks & Recreation Department is one of the most active in the area, offering dozens of programs for children and adults, as well as sponsoring community activities for the family.

The Pelham Town Beach is active throughout the summer and early fall, and outdoor activities around town include our local golf course, hiking/walking trails, disk golf and our public skate park. Our Fish & Game is active in warm months, as well as cold, and as winter approaches our residents enjoy our many snowmobile trails as well as ice skating.

The Pelham Public Library, newly constructed and opened in 2003, includes a large selection of adult and children’s books, as well as DVDs and other multimedia selections for lending. It also offers ongoing programs for children and adults throughout the year.
