Within walking distance of much of the town is Wilkins Field. The field which used to be natural grass (and was mostly mud during the fall) was turfed over and is now always ready for the next football, soccer and lacrosse game.
For such a small school, Mountain Lakes does very well and is crazy about its sports. Just look at the line of players on the side line at this varsity game, 10-20% of the eligible boys school are on the team (the girl's teams do very well as well). Lacrosse, the other big sport in town, has just as many kids playing. I think that this level of participation is one of the major reasons that the high school does so well and wins so many conference and state championships.
Although football and lacrosse are the most popular, there are lots of opportunities to play in other sports like cross country, soccer, hockey, golf, skiing, and crew.
