Warinanco Sports Center is more than just a beautiful venue—the facility hosts a variety of camps, clinics, and leagues throughout the year. During the summer, kids can enjoy signature summer camps with planned activities to teach sportsmanship. During the winter, kids can come learn how to ice skate or play hockey.

The Warinanco Ice Rink, originally built in 1961, was billed as the first public artificial ice skating rink in Union County. In 2016 and 2017, the rink underwent an extensive $7 million modernization and renovation that doubled the overall complex space and transformed it into a year-round venue for ice skating during the fall and winter months, with a covered AstroTurf field for a variety of sports during the spring and summer months. The rink was renamed Warinanco Sports Center and given a brand to match the rest of Warinanco Park.
