Lovers Cove Park - Spotlight

Lovers Cove Park 
#58 Cathy Road (View Map)
Picnic Shelter, Picnic Tables, Walking Path, Canoe/Kayak Launch, Swimming, Skating, Sledding

Named after the official NS Geographic place name “Lovers Cove”, this is one of our newly developed park areas in the community.

Located at #58 Cathy Rd, we think of Lovers Cove as THE “picnic park” of the community.  In the last few years, we’ve installed a gorgeous covered picnic shelter to promote this very use.

Along with our shaded picnic area, we’ve been working on opening access to the lake for skating in the winter or launching a canoe/kayak in the summer. In 2012 we put significant work into the trail leading to the lake and created another picnic area in the shade close to the lake. We’ve noticed lots of folks using this area to cast some fishing lines into the lake and take a dip into the deep lake access at this park.

The parking lot and entrance has been improved and defined the parking lot and entrance. We hope you enjoy your stay!

If you’re looking for an easy way to enjoy our lakes this summer, check out Campbell Point Park!

To access the beach, you can park at #187 Lakewood Drive (parking lot or street parking) and, in a 4-minute walk down the gravel driveway, you’ll find our lake front beach! Very popular with families in our community, this sandy beach area offers easy shallow-water access to swim in the lake. This beach has lifeguards during the summer and also offers swimming lessons (Register through HRM Rec or call 420-SWIM). There are many shady spots to spread a blanket and enjoy a day at the beach.  You can also string up a net at the beach volleyball court for a friendly game of volleyball or badminton with friends or go hiking through the network of woodland trails that traverse the adjoining woods (remembering that private property is next to the park).

You'll meet all kinds of families enjoying the water here both daytime and evening in the summer!
Be sure to pop in and join the fun!
