Upgrades Announced for Outdoor Recreation Facilities!

The Town of Trenton is thrilled to announce the upgrading of three outdoor recreation facilities thanks to a one-time contribution of $650,000 from the Province of Nova Scotia’s Department of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage. The upgrades will include a new skateboard park, pickleball court and multisport court equipped with nets for both basketball and road hockey. These upgraded facilities will be located on the corner of Main Street/First Street and Duchess Avenue, down from the future home of the Pictou County Sports Heritage Hall of Fame.

In addition, Scotia Park Ball Field (Strickland Avenue) will be reviewed for necessary upgrades.

The Town understands that our recreational infrastructure plays an important role in our residents’ quality of life, as well as our ability to attract visitors and new residents to our community. We continue to work diligently at promoting a healthier community, improve infrastructure and foster economic growth to create a Town where our residents’ can live, work and play.

Work is anticipated to be completed in fall 2024.
