This category collects articles about places and activities related to recreation, walks, and entertainment in Nizhny Novgorod and the region. The region's nature — rivers, lakes, and forests — has historically shaped the character of leisure: city residents travel out to Svetloyar, swim and stroll in Sormovo Park, and go rafting on the The Linda River.
The city's recreational infrastructure is represented by parks, the Nizhny Novgorod Circus, a racetrack, and other facilities. The category covers both quiet places for walking, such as Shchelokovsky Farm, and active forms of leisure — from paragliding to circuit racing.
