Brunswick offers a selection of recreation areas for residents and non-residents. Brunswick Town Beach and Park, formerly the Vanderheyden and Brunswick reservoirs, on North Lake Avenue, was bought and developed by the town in 1967 and opened in 1968.

The town is home to three [[golf course]]s: one private, two public. The Country Club of Troy, despite its name, resides completely in Brunswick, near its western border with Troy. Its 18-hole golf course, designed by [[Walter J. Travis]] (his last before he died), opened in 1926.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Walter J.

Brunswick Greens, located on Hoosick Road, offers a nine-hole course. Additionally, parts of the Frear Park Municipal Golf Course reside in Brunswick, though most of the course is within Troy city limits, and its organization is overseen by the city. Opened in 1931 as a nine-hole course, Frear was expanded to 18 holes in 1964. Frear was designated the Upper Valley winner for best golf course by ''[[Hudson Valley (magazine)|Hudson Valley]]'' magazine in 2003.<ref>{{cite web |title=Frear Park Municipal Golf Course |publisher=City of Troy |url=http://www.troyny.gov/golf.html |access-date=September 8, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090817233137/http://www.troyny.gov/golf.html |archive-date=August 17, 2009  }}</ref>
