Trenton Park
Please Note the Following Updates for 2021:
- The Trenton Park Revitalization construction has begun! This means there are new restrictions in the central area of Trenton Park & the main parking lot is now CLOSED to the public. You are unable to walk the traditional full loop of the Veterans Way trail. For access to Walking Trails you must enter either at Trenton Rink or Airport entrances. The Trenton Park office building, washrooms, canteen, swimming pool, splashpad & playground are currently CLOSED due to the revitalization construction. We look forward to our grand reopening in 2022!
Trenton Park Is Open Year-round!
Trenton Park is one of Nova Scotia’s finest parks! Whether you want to get out of the car to stretch, take a break for lunch or perk up your day with recreational activities: Trenton Park can provide the experience you’re looking for!
The Park offers 6km or walking/hiking trails winding their way through 565 acres of century-old coniferous trees. A 6.5km (4.4mi) mountain bike trail is also on site. Park visitors can enjoy a leisurely stroll (1.6km) along the prepared trail or stop to fish trout from the 3 man-made ponds. Visitors may catch a glimpse of the natural wildlife that calls Trenton Park home!
Trenton Park is a great location for family fun with a playground, a 3000 square foot family swimming pool and water splash pool for visitors to cool down in the summer months! A picnic area provides visitors a space to stop and enjoy food from the Trenton Park Canteen, open daily in the summer. Parking and washrooms are available at the main entrance. (2021 UPDATE: Closed due to revitalization construction at this time. See above for list of closures.)
