• Gymnasium: The indoor gymnasium features a full-length basketball court and is used for all adult athletic programs, including personal training and fitness classes. Adult basketball games are played every Sunday morning and Tuesday evenings in the gym. Children’s recreational activities are typically held in the gym over the fall, winter and early spring months during the late afternoons. 
• Multi-Level Fitness Center: Our multi-level fitness center offers a variety of choices for members looking to lose or maintain their weight, tone or strengthen muscle mass or simply stay fit & healthy. Some of the many options include circuit training, weight resistance equipment, cardio stations and free weights. 
• (3) Outdoor Pools: During the warmer months, the recreational possibilities at the IC are endless. Within a picturesque setting, members can enjoy three sun-drenched outdoor pools…two for both adults and older children, and one exclusive Kiddie pool for the youngest children. Our largest pool includes zero entry for handicap access, two diving boards, adult lap lanes and a 36 foot water flume.
• (6) Har-Tru Tennis Courts: Our 6 Har-Tru tennis courts are amongst the finest in Fairfield County and our summer tennis program has traditionally been one of our strongest assets. Members can sign up for a private or group lesson with our tennis pro or join one of the IC tennis teams.
• (4) Illuminated Tennis Courts: Our four rear hard courts are illuminated for night play.
• Platform Tennis Courts: During the fall and winter months, take a break from the indoors on one of our three illuminated platform tennis courts. Members are invited to join our platform tennis program which regularly competes in the Fairfield County Platform Tennis League. Our Platform tennis pro is available for private lessons or clinics for adults and juniors looking to improve their game.
• Miniature Golf: Enjoy playing on our fun and challenging 12 hole miniature golf course which traditionally opens for play on Memorial Day weekend and closes for the season on Labor Day.
• Disc Golf: Disc golf is played much like traditional golf. However, instead of a ball and clubs, players use a flying disc, or Frisbee® which is thrown to a basket.
• (2) Bocce Courts: Our two bocce courts, located at our rear picnic grounds, are open year round, weather permitting. Availability is limited during the summer day camp sessions and when ever the picnic grounds are in use.
• Ping Pong: Enjoy a game of Ping Pong located near the playground and mini golf.
• Pickle Ball: This fun racquet sport combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball (like a whiffle ball) over a net.    

  The IC hosts several entertaining social events that are open to the public. Our popular Comedy Night, exquisite Mother’s Day Brunch and cultural events are a big hit with our members and the community.
