Saxmundham has a very active Sports & Recreational club and has over 30 other clubs & societies covering a wide range of interests including local and family history, horticulture, yoga, dancing, bingo, plus several youth and community groups. Leisure facilities are available in neighbouring Leiston.

There are several groups catering for young people, plus there is a campaign to get a skate park up and running in the town.   S.A.V.V.Y. (Saxmundham And Villages Volunteer Youth) have just been constituted and will be consulting all members of the public about the Seaman Avenue park development.  To do this they will be visiting all the schools and holding activities where you can all get involved.  Many events are currently being planned like the mobile skate park which will be coming to Saxmundham for an event in the summer.  If you would like to volunteer to help out with anything or you have ideas of what you would like to see happening at your park please contact Cheleigh Trotter-Langlois - telephone 01728 605735 or email:  hot_trotters2001@hotmail.com  

The 'Go with the Flow' youth bus project is now in action in Saxmundham from 7pm-9pm on Friday nights in Market Place car park near Zorbas kebab shop for ages 12-19.  You can find it on the web www.gowiththeflowbus.com

The town also enjoys a range of playgrounds and has its own memorial field or public park.
