East Lambton Community Complex

The East Lambton Community Complex (ELCC) opened in October 2021 after an upgrade and expansion project to the former Watford Arena. The ELCC addition replaces the former Watford Centennial Hall which served as a community hall to residents of Warwick Township for over 50 years.

Boasting a myriad of space options that offer various sports, recreation, and leisure activities year-round, the East Lambton Community Complex is one of the central hubs in our municipality that bring residents together. With ample parking, and electric vehicle parking spaces, it is the perfect place for residents and visitors alike to come and enjoy the amenities the ELCC has to offer.

Located at 61 Centennial Avenue in Watford, ON, Warwick Township's Parks & Recreation Department looks forward to welcoming you to the East Lambton Community Complex.
