Westboro is an active community and residents enjoy biking and hiking the many scenic trails along the Ottawa River as well as water-based activities such as boating and white-water rafting along the rapids.

A community garden, sports fields, playgrounds, splash pads and wading pools, basketball and volleyball courts, and ice skating rinks are some of the outdoor recreational offerings of Westboro.
