Shubie Park, Urban park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
Shubie Park is a 16-hectare forest park in Dartmouth with trails along Lake Micmac and Lake Charles that pass through dense woodland. The paths are suitable for walking and cycling throughout the grounds.
The land served as a royal wood lot from 1722, supplying masts for the Royal Navy before becoming the first crown land grant in Dartmouth. This early use shaped the area's development.
The Fairbanks Centre displays exhibits about the historic canal system, with scale models showing how the old lock mechanisms functioned.
The park provides camping facilities for overnight stays, with varying levels of services available for different preferences. Spring through summer offers the best conditions for visiting.
The park preserves a section of the abandoned Shubenacadie Canal, a historic waterway that once linked Halifax and the Bay of Fundy. These remains remind visitors of an ambitious 19th-century transportation project.
