Berwick Curling Club Relocates to Kings Mutual Century Centre
The club prepares to close its Orchard Street site and shift operations to a new rink inside the Kings Mutual Century Centre.
How we reported this
The Berwick Curling Club is the local organization drawing attention this summer as it readies to leave its current Orchard Street location. The move forms part of broader recreation upgrades already under way in the area.
Why the transition matters now
Construction on a $5 million expansion at the Apple Dome recreation facility begins in July 2026. The project adds a new curling club, fitness centres and a female dressing room. The existing Berwick Curling Club will close its Orchard Street location to transition to the new Larsen Curling Centre within the Kings Mutual Century Centre, with the new rink expected to open in fall 2026.
Local detail on supported sites
The Apple Dome expansion directly supports the curling club relocation. The new Larsen Curling Centre is named in project documents as the destination rink. These changes affect club members who currently use the Orchard Street facility and will shift to the Kings Mutual Century Centre once the rink opens.
Evidence from project timelines
Project records confirm the $5 million figure for the Apple Dome work and the July 2026 construction start date. The same records list the fall 2026 target for the Larsen Curling Centre opening. No other dates or funding amounts appear in the verified material for this specific club move.
What happens next
Club members can monitor updates through the Apple Dome recreation facility and the Kings Mutual Century Centre as construction proceeds and the new rink is completed. The transition remains on the published schedule tied to the July 2026 start and fall 2026 opening.
