What's New in Recreation
Upgrading our facilities to serve you better!
The Town of Tillsonburg is continuing to upgrade its recreation facilities to serve you better.
Beginning April 2023, the aquatics wing at the Tillsonburg Community Centre will be closed for major renovations. A variety of upgrades will be made to improve accessibility, energy efficiency and functionality.
Major funding for the project is being provided by the Government of Canada and the Province of Ontario through the Investment in Canadian Infrastructure Program (ICIP). It is the second phase of the Tillsonburg Community Centre Recreation Rehabilitation project announced in July 2021.
The Town of Tillsonburg is also investing in the project.
The indoor aquatic centre at the Tillsonburg Community Centre contains a 25 metre, six lane rectangular lap pool with competition starting blocks, male and female change rooms (shared with the fitness centre), a lifeguard office, storage room, and a separated viewing gallery.
While the aquatic centre has served the community and surrounding region well for more than 50 years, it lacks modern amenities and requires upgrades to meet current accessibility standards.
