The Community Centre includes an ice rink, where many events and fundraisers are held by both local churches and the Optimist Club. The surrounding grounds include a baseball diamond, tennis court, swings and a play structure. The Hamilton Public Library, Carlisle Branch shares the same parking lot.

To the east of the crossroads on Carlisle Road is the well-loved Dutchman's Gold [1] honey company where all natural honey is cultivated and sold.

On the nearby 8th Concession Road, just off Centre Rd. lies Somerset Farm Store where locals and visitors can pick up fresh produce and homemade pies. West Avenue Cider is part of the Somerset Orchard family.

The Carlisle Golf & Country Club [2] is a 27-hole public golf course that is part of the KANEFF group which also has various golf courses across the Golden Horseshoe, including Lionhead, Royal Niagara, Century Pines, and Royal Ontario.

Carlisle was also home to an Ostrich Farm, but the animals were deemed too dangerous for the growing area.

Carlisle is where you will find Progreston Falls under the rumbling of an active freight train trellis.
