Carrington maintains two public parks, both equipped with playground apparatus, baseball diamonds, picnic tables, and fireplaces. Both parks permit camping. Carrington City Park is a 16‑acre tract at the south edge of Carrington, adjacent to the highway. A swimming pool, tennis and horseshoe courts, rifle and pistol range, as well as a trap range, are included. Court House Park is a 1.2‑acre area bordering the Foster County Court House lawn. The city provides supervised recreational programs, which include swimming lessons, softball, and baseball.
A nine‑hole, grass green, privately owned golf course is located on the southern limits of "The Central City." A clubhouse is provided on the 60‑acre site.
Winter sports include snowmobiling, skiing, tobogganing, and ice-skating.
Carrington also has an eight‑lane bowling alley.
