Kiwanis Park

Kiwanis Park, with its pond, walkways and fountain, is a small but picturesque park located in the west end of Truro.

The park was a major initiative of the now disbanded Truro Kiwanis Club for more than 30 years, and is now overseen by the Town of Truro Department of Parks, Recreation and Culture.

Enjoy a walk around the pond

The Town of Truro Department of Parks, Recreation and Culture encourages people to walk around the Kiwanis Park Pond and to keep track of their progress. 2.5 laps around the pond is equal to 1.6 kilometres.

Fisherama

Each spring, the Cobequid Salmon Association organizes a popular Fisherama at Kiwanis Park for youth 16 and under.

Enjoy the ducks, but please don't feed them

Kiwanis Park has a significant problem with duck overpopulation. As many as 600 to 800 ducks have been counted at the park during the late fall. There is concern in the community that such high numbers contribute not only to turf damage but also provide ideal conditions for a major disease outbreak. The overpopulation problem is due in large part to public feeding of ducks. As a result, Parks, Recreation and Culture staff have been instructed to clean up feed left in the park.
