Since 1913, the Southport Clubhouse has served the youth of Fairfield and surrounding towns with a wide range of academic, artistic, athletic, and community service activities.
At the Southport Clubhouse, members have access to two full-court basketball gyms, a Power Hour Homework Room, teen lounge, and classrooms for programs that focus on STEAM, community service, and leadership development. Just outside the front door, members can enjoy the full-size turf field, an adjacent Sport Court, and an expanding play area that features a Gaga Ball pit and a newly built outdoor theater.
