Munster has ten parks, three lakes, a nine-hole golf course and driving range, {{convert|11|mi|km|spell=in}} of bike paths, an innovative public art and sculpture program, and two recreational points of interest. Centennial Park, the newest and largest of these facilities, was built on a former landfill and opened in 2007. This award-winning park incorporates several environmentally-friendly design elements conformant to the [[Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design|LEED]] Silver guidelines. Methane gas from the landfill is captured and converted into electricity to power the park.

Centennial Park's amenities include a clubhouse with green roof and banquet facilities, ''The View'' restaurant with outdoor seating, a nine-hole (Tim Nugent of Nugent Golf in [[Vernon Hills, Illinois]].) designed golf course and driving range, a live stage amphitheater, a lake with two bridges, three fountains, fishing opportunities, and a boardwalk, a sculpture walk (in progress), formal botanical gardens, outdoor pavilions, walking trails, access to the Pennsy Greenway, a 3-acre dog park, and soccer fields. Events held at Centennial Park include Munster Music Festival, Grape Escape Wine Festival, July 4 fireworks displays over the lake, and an outdoor movie series.

Community Park is another popular Munster park and hosts the town's annual Car and Motorcycle Show. Features of this facility include an outdoor swimming complex, a skate park, lighted tennis courts, playgrounds, baseball fields, a basketball court, a social center, and picnic areas. The park is located immediately east of the Lake County Public Library's Munster branch.

Little League Baseball was first organized in the town in 1952, and Babe Ruth Baseball was established in 1954. Munster's Babe Ruth All-Star teams have won six state championships since 1985.
