Kingston has a vibrant and active local sport community with children, youth, and adults enjoying our city’s sport facilities and natural landscape year-round.
Sport programs and events are made possible thanks to the dedicated volunteers and staff who support the sport and wellness sectors. Working or volunteering is a great way to get involved in the Kingston community, while making a difference – now and for generations to come.
