Orland Park has a large Recreation and Parks Department. The village has over 60 parks, with plenty of options for recreation, from sports complexes to nature trails.

The Centennial Park Aquatic Center is a {{convert|192|acre|adj=on}} park with a public pool. With six water slides, two large pools, and a children's play area, it is one of the largest public pools in the area. Since its debut in 1992, the Aquatic center has gone through multiple renovations. There have been several add-ons, including two new water slides, and two outdoor sand volleyball courts.

Just south of the Centennial Park Aquatic Center is the {{convert|95|acre|adj=on}} Lake Segdewick. It has hiking paths, nature trails, boardwalks, boat ramps, and pedal boats and kayaks for rent. Fishing is allowed.

The Winter Wonderland Ice Rink is also in Centennial Park. Open from November to March, this outdoor [[ice rink]] is free of charge. There is a small warming hut where you can rent ice skates.

The Sportsplex, on 159th Street, is Orland Park's largest indoor recreational facility. It has three full-sized basketball courts, an indoor soccer field, and a full weight room with free weights, plenty of cardio options, and a ¼-mile indoor track. Personal trainers are available, along with fitness classes, including Pilates, yoga, cycling, and Zumba. The Sportsplex also has a {{convert|35|ft|adj=on}} rock wall with six different routes for all skill levels.

The Recreation and Parks Department also helps organize many public events. Centennial Park hosts charity events and seasonal events, including the Orland Park Turkey Trot, a 5K run held on Thanksgiving morning at the John Humphrey Complex. These events are heavily advertised and supported by students of Carl Sandburg High School.

Orland Park is the touted "World's Golf Center".  According to village lore, someone counted 1,089 golf holes within a 15-mile radius of the village, said Jodi Marneris, Orland Park's spokeswoman in 1996.  The "World's Golf Center" concept was then proudly plastered on the village flag and painted on the town's seven water towers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1996-04-11-9604110298-story.html|title=ORLAND PARK'S EAGLE TARGETED|last=Delogu|first=Diana|date=April 11, 1996|website=Chicago Tribune|access-date=April 23, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://yochicago.com/fountain-hills-condos-a-golfer%e2%80%99s-paradise/27769/|title=Fountain Hills in Orland Park a golfer's paradise – YoChicago|last=Post|first=Sponsored|date=August 27, 2012|language=en-US|access-date=April 23, 2019}}</ref>
