Formally known as the Carleton Civic Centre, the facility first opened in 1995 with the partnership of the Town of Woodstock and the Woodstock Rotary Club. The original 32,092 sq. foot complex offers a 190 x 90 foot ice surface, a five lane (25 meter pool) and a number of multi-purpose rooms and offices.

Expanded to a Regional facility in 2015, AYR Motor Centre with the recent addition of a field house. This newest enhancement to the facility offers endless possibilities for recreational programming and activities, trade shows,  and other entertainment events. The AYR Motor Centre Field House offers the citizens of Greater Woodstock of all ages a  facility with three courts, an indoor track, fitness room and locker rooms.

Our facility includes:

Open in the fall of 2013, Woodstock’s Dog Park is located at 105 G Connell Park Road, between the AYR Motor Centre and the race track.

This facility is for everyone to use free, off-leash dog park to provide exercise, play and social opportunities for their canine companions. The fenced-in dog park provides peace of mind for dog owners: a large area is available for larger and more confident dogs, while a separate, smaller area serves the needs of smaller and less confident canines.

Dogs and their owners use the entrance gate to access the unleashing/ re-leashing area, where the dog’s leash is removed. The dog and owner then enter the area of their choice with the dog off-leash, minimizing anxiety and stress for the dog if other excited dogs in the park come over to greet him or her.

Fresh water is available, and benches have been provided for dog owners’ use. For safety and hygiene reasons, dog park users are required to read and respect the Woodstock Dog Park rules, which are posted.
