Victoria Park, Truro, Nova Scotia

Victoria Park, Truro, Nova Scotia, Urban park in Truro, Canada

Victoria Park is a 3,000-acre natural woodland park in Truro, Nova Scotia, Canada, with trails, two waterfalls on Lepper Brook, and old-growth eastern hemlock trees up to 250 years old. The northern edge along Adams Street holds an outdoor pool, playground, splash pad, tennis courts, picnic pavilion, and the J. Arch Fraser Bandshell.

Victoria Park began in 1887 when Susan Waddell Stevens donated 25 acres for a public park. Truro formed a board of trustees chaired by Sir Adams G. Archibald, and the park was named for Queen Victoria. Six adjacent parcels were added in 1888, and the trustees were incorporated in 1901. Hurricane Juan damaged trees in 2003 and Hurricane Fiona struck again in 2022.

The two waterfalls are named for people tied to the park: Joseph Howe Falls honours the Nova Scotia premier, and Waddell Falls honours Susan Waddell Stevens, who donated the founding land. Near the Adams Street facilities stands the Holy Well, a replica of an early Acadian well from the area. The J. Arch Fraser Bandshell hosts the Sunday in the Park Concert Series each summer Sunday.

The park has several entry points and clearly marked trails that make it easy to navigate through the woodland. Wearing sturdy shoes is recommended since the ground can be uneven and paths wind through forested areas.

A section called Railyard Mountain Bike Park contains kilometers of specialized trails designed specifically for mountain biking, making this area notable among regional cycling destinations. Many riders travel from surrounding areas to use these dedicated routes.
