The City of Kitchener has officially opened the new Williamsburg Community Centre, a 17,000-square-foot facility designed to serve as a hub for recreation, wellness and community.

Located at 200 Rosenburg Way, the centre opened its doors on Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. The city said it will host more than 150 weekly recreational and fitness programs in its two gymnasiums and four multi-purpose rooms.

The modern facility also has free public Wi-Fi and computer access.

“This new community centre is a reflection of our commitment to building inclusive, accessible spaces where residents of all ages can come together and know they belong,” Mayor Berry Vrbanovic said in a media release. “Williamsburg is a growing neighbourhood and this facility not only reflects the residents here today but anticipates what this community will need for years to come.”

As for Ward 5 Councillor Ayo Owodunni, he’s eager for residents to experience the new space.

“I can’t wait to see the reaction from community members when they walk through the door,” he said. ”The new centre is fresh, inviting and is exactly what the community has been asking for.”

A grand opening celebration for the new facility is planned for spring 2026.

The community centre’s previous location, at 1187 Fischer-Hallman Road, officially closed on Oct. 10.

More information about programs and services at the new Williamsburg Community Centre is available on the city’s website.
