Victoria Park
Open year-round
Now more than 130 years old, Victoria Park is a 3,000-acre treasure in the heart of Truro. The beautiful and dynamic urban park boasts incredible natural features, including a dramatic steep-sided gorge, a winding river, cascading waterfalls, and a stately old-growth Eastern Hemlock forest.
The park offers visitors endless recreational, cultural and leisure opportunities. With over 75km of multi-use trails with varying difficulty from easy to more strenuous, paved, gravel and natural surfaces, everyone can enjoy hiking, birdwatching, picnics, family gatherings, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, swimming, baseball, cultural events, live music, tennis, cycling and more.
Come to play at the playground, swim in the heated outdoor pool in the summer months, or challenge yourself with a 175-step climb to the top of Jacob’s Ladder. Spend an hour or spend the day.
