Organized sports in Melrose are popular on both high school and professional levels. In fact, seven professional athletes grew up in Melrose. In the late 1920s and early 1930s, salaried teams played at Legion Park (now Lions Park) as crowds filled a grandstand built to seat 800.

In recreational sports, Melrose has long been a hub for bowling leagues, slow-pitch softball, and baseball.

Indoor activities include a number of pool and dart leagues, some of which compete on the state level, and a number of card clubs.
