Victoria Park is located in downtown Truro.  This picturesque park offers tennis courts, an outdoor swimming pool, a little league ballfield, a playground and a water spray park, a bandshell, picnic tables and a cook-out pavilion. The Lower Park is the focal point for many town gatherings and festivals.

As you explore the upper park you will find many gems along the trails.  The Witch's Cauldron is a unusually deep spot in the mostly shallow Lepper's Brook.  You will also find the Joseph Howe Falls (as pictured above).  If you look upstream, from the falls, you will find the second  set of falls.

Every year, during the month of May, hundreds of tulips color the picnic area of the park.

The ravine area also contains the Holy Well, a replica of a well in Bible Hill where early Acadian settlers baptized their infants.  At the top of a set of wooden stairs to the right, there is the Wishing Well.

Built in 2004, the new Victoria Park swimming pool has something for everyone. 

Come enjoy the jewel of Truro.
At Victoria Park, you can get away from it all, while still a stone's throw away from it all.

The park boasts of 1000 acres of pristine forests, the 1.6 km long Dr. Jim Vibert trail as well as the many biking trails.

The look off at the top of Wood Street gives you a panoramic view of the Salmon and North River valleys.

 

Beyond the lower park is the natural parkland with its rustic beauty.  It has walking trails beside the brook as well as at the top of the gorge.  Pictured above is the world famous Jacob's Ladder. There are 200 steps to the top of the rocky gorge.
