Active Living 
It is possible to walk everywhere for all one's needs. Behind the residential streets are many wooded areas with trails, brooks and streams - ideal for leisurely strolls or energetic hikes. We have water gardens and a duck pond which provides skating in winter. Jubilee Park offers wooded trails, a children's playground, a ball field and an outdoor swimming pool where swimming lessons and public swims are available during the summer months. Also in Jubilee Park are tennis courts with lessons and open courts all summer. 
 
Various fitness activities are available throughout town - yoga, tai chi, fitness classes, walking clubs, floor hockey, badminton, softball and more. Mahone Bay boasts a top-notch youth soccer program. For information on activities contact The Mahone Bay Centre, the Town Hall (tel: 902-624-8327) and watch for signs posted around town...
