    Great place for cycling, running, walking and just siting somewhere and take a break.
    A very large park with a reservoir in the middle. Lots of hiking and cycling trails. There are benches here to sit, but they are not as often as it would like. There are several interesting points, but by the time you get to them you will get tired, so this park is more about active recreation or just walking around to relax from the city. Overall, a very nice place... Both my wife and I agreed that we can endlessly make photos(me) and paint(she) pictures because it has a lot of interesting "small nature spots". By scanning QR-codes on some of the wooden posts you can open a map of this park with directions and paths.
    Definitely worth a visit. We spent half a day in this park. And there is free parking at the entrance to the park.

    Tidal bore Discovery Centre-don't miss!
    We dropped in on Monday of the Thanksgiving weekend and we were met by a very friendly, helpful woman. She taught us about tidal bore waves, showed pictures, and reviewed Webcam video. I wish this would have been our first stop in exploring the tides. We returned for the tidal bore wave at 1246am on Oct 18, and although it was dark, the experience was amazing!

    Can't wait to go again this year and I hear they are planning some crazy fun activities this year!
    Fun friendly crowd, lots of excitement and cheering on your favorite horses and drivers. For a small cost you can also buy a fraction ownership in a horse and participate in the barns which would be amazing!!

    Hubtown Live Theatre
    Things my Mother Taught me. This was an excellent play and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We were fortunate enough to have front row seats and it almost felt like we were on stage with them. The play was funny with lots of hysterical moments.
    Stongly recommend any play produced by Hubtown theater.

    Great deals, but not much of a tour…
    I grew up in Stanfields gitch (such a Canadian expression). Every morning, I’d look down and read “Stanfields, Truro, NS, so when we were heading back east, I knew that this was a destination.

    While the deals were terrific (the whole family got union suits for Christmas pajamas, and henley sweater, plus much more), there wasn’t a whole lot about the history of the factory. Some old equipment, and old advertisements, and the chance to stand on the old factory floor, but no actual “tour”.

    So go for the opportunity to get some terrific deals, and understand that there won’t be much learning.

    Well Done Overview of Colchester County, Truro and area.
    Best part: Black history - 2nd Construction Battalion WW1 from Truro. Men not permitted to fight because of the colour of their skin, however worked and died for the British Empire as construction builders in the war.
    Excellent use of the small space to tell the story of Colchester and Truro

    Great building…..staff, not so much.
    Great modern library with a wide
    selection. The staff is the reason for my
    review. For some reason I cant yet figure out, when you ask the staff a question or approach the desk to sign something out, they all look at you like you are crazy, like you committed a faux pas by asking them to do their job. I thought it was just me but I mentioned it to a few people and they all said the same. It’s so odd to be
    such a way when you work a job that deals with the public.

    A step back to my childhood
    This lovely little schoolhouse feel like it is just waiting for a new group of pupils to arrive any minute. There were too very knowledgeable staff members to explain all the items (not so necessary for the 4 seniors in this party. Two of us are retired teachers and the loved all the artifacts that allowed them to reminisce about how it was when they started out in their careers 50 years ago. Well worth the visit.

    Gorgeous and historic Anglican church.
    This stone English Gothic-style church is very beautiful and is known to be the oldest surviving church building in Colchester County, built in 1881. I drove by it several times as I was maneuvering the downtown one-way streets and traffic, so I didn't get out of the car to take photos (which I normally would because I love old churches). I would have loved to see the interior.

    Small, but features unique pieces
    I've dropped in a time or two and always found something that took my fancy. Some really unique pieces are often showcased.

    A nice spot
    Parking on several sides. It has a paved walkway around small lake. I like to jog a few laps everyday here. Lots of benches and picnic tables, some are covered. Duck, loons and other birds frequent the water.
