I love the new boat launch area and the new surface on the paths is a huge improvement from the sharp rocks. I was noticed quite an increase in trash in the bushes and at the waters edge. I took a garbage bag full of other peoples litter out with me but there was nowhere to leave it at the end of the pathway right at the end of Northwest Arm Drive and Old Sambro Road. Several people had put their dog waste in bags but had then left the bags at that end of the path. They had obviously thought there would be a garbage can there and when there wasn’t just dropped the bags on the path itself.
Nice to have….was there today. Used the launch for our kayaks . This location should be ‘re assessed and tweaked. The parking lot is too small and if you carry your kayaks or canoe on a trailer, good luck trying to park. There is only one entrance/ exit here. Parking should be expanded one a looped seperate entrance and separate exit.The good thing is that this park has become very popular… Cheers.
Thanks for a note, unfortunately we do not have the approval or the funds to make the area larger. It took us years to get permission to open this section of park up.
Hi Breah, we are currently working on our plan for members and volunteers for the park association, we hope to have this in place soon. My I ask what you are interested in, as far as the park goes. We are a new Assoc. And now that construction is completed we will start looking to the future for our needs.
You can contact me directly at mharvey@ Seenovascotia.com, I am the communications chair for the association.

What is the civic address for those of us who don’t know where the old pumphouse is?
