Dirt paths in Dartmouth
Hi! I have a foot injury and find it painful to walk on concrete or asphalt. I’m looking to find more non hard surfaces to go for walks in Dartmouth. Right now I mainly do laps around Morash Pond off Woodlawn and go out to McCormacks Beach at fisherman’s cove. Any other…

Hi everyone! I swear I saw a post about places delivering Christmas Trees to your home but cant find it! Anyone know places that do that? Near the sackville area! I have a small car and I’m pregnant, so have it delivered at home would just be way more practical! Thanks :)

In summer, electric vehicle chargers are a scarce commodity in Nova Scotia (Translated)
There are 2, if not 3 charging stations (were still fenced off as of Friday past) at the Grahams Grove, Kiwanis boat club in Dartmouth.

"Great little park. It is perfect for a getaway in the city. There are some lovely spots by the lake in the trees where you can relax, and there is a beach as well. This one is used for many community events. People used to swim here a lot more but now the lake is mostly used for paddling."
Krista Whitehouse
"Very nice and well maintained little park in Dartmouth.
There's docks for boats and swimming which are nice in the summer (check government bacteria levels if swimming.)
The small trail is well shaded which goes to an open field nice for a picnic or having space for the little ones to run around.
There's a superstore across the street to pick up everything you need!"
