In Cornwall's 14 public parks and playing fields, there are facilities for baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, tennis, and swimming. Several Parks also contain play structures, swings, sandboxes, slides, and teeter totters. Cornwall has established walking trails and the Town has long-range intentions of creating more. With the North and West Rivers forming part of the Town boundaries, there is access to beaches and boating. There are woodland and wetland areas.
Brook trout is present in virtually all Island brooks and streams.
Tidal waters are also abundant in smelt and mackerel. The West River, running along the border of Cornwall, is one of the best sources of Atlantic salmon in Prince Edward Island, although the salmon doesn't enter Island waters until the end of the season. Anglers can also fish for brook trout in the West River, at the North River causeway, and at Warren's Pond. The causeway is also a good spot to catch white perch. Cultural Facilities and Events Cornwall has an annual winter carnival and hosts many sports related events.
