Recreation

There are two parks in Coleridge which have playground equipment, shelter houses, restrooms, ball diamonds, tennis courts, lighted basketball court, grandstand, concession stand, and free camping. The parks are very busy in the summer providing entertainment for young and old alike. The Community Club, American Legion, and the Village provide funding enabling Coleridge to offer a Summer Recreation Program for ages 5-14 and Coleridge/Laurel Midget and Legion baseball teams. We also have a Women's Softball team. Along with the youth tournaments every summer, we are home to the Jimmy Collins Memorial Softball Tournament.
