Did you know. . . .
Originally, all Tyrone gatherings & social activities were run out of the red brickhall across from the churchwhich was called “The Temperance Hall” (At that time, alcohol could not be sold at public buildings in Clarington and many other parts of Canada). The park was in the current location on 4 acres of land donated by Benjamin Gardner who lived next door in the white house behind the church. At that time the playground was much more modest having only a slide, teeter-totter, & sand box.
Throughout the years, the hall has been run by families & friends pulling together to keep a tightly knit community
In the early 70s, the very committed, energetic & hard working hall board decided to build a new hall, big enough to suit the growing needs of the community. Thanks to generous donations from Ewart McLaughlin, RS McLaughlin, & a
Wintario grant, construction began. The board & community worked endlessly for years raising funds to see their project through. During this time, The board rallied and were successful in changing the liquor laws in Clarington. Now liquor could be sold at their functions.
The hall board also joined forces with the Tryone Athletic Assoc & more money was raised to buy more land to the north allowing the addition our excellent ball diamonds & soccer pitches. It was then that plans for the walkway entering from the new court on the east side were formulated.
In 1976 the Tyrone Community Centre, as it stands today, was completed!.
