Welcome to a new season of recreation and leisure programming! At the Town of Tillsonburg, we strive to offer all residents the recreational amenities and programs they need to enjoy balanced lifestyles. In case you missed it, Tillsonburg has two brand new parks: Weston Family Park and Doug Wilson Park. Both were dedicated in July and provide new recreational space for families living in the Northcrest subdivision. In August, the Town also installed brand new playground equipment in Westmount Park. The new playground will open this September. Come check it out! Want to stay up to date on more Town and Council happenings?

It is the second phase of the Tillsonburg Community Centre Recreation Rehabilitation project. We know everyone is anxious to get back swimming and are doing all we can to get this project finished. Your patience and understanding is appreciated.
