Cycling, hiking, baseball, canoeing, skateboarding — whatever your lifestyle, you can take it to the next level in Yarmouth. Our town and the surrounding area offer a wide range of sports fields, multi-use trails, waterways, and facilities.
Register, rent and get active
With Yarmouth Recreation, you can register for boating, cross-country skiing, and activities for every age group. You can also rent sports fields and other facilities for events and parties. Or strap on your skates and play a pickup game at the Yarmouth Mariners Centre.
If you’re looking for something outside, the Yarmouth Skate Park (131 Main Street) is a great spot to show off your skills. It has challenging ramps, rails, and curbs for riders of all ages. You can also take a walk through our historic downtown and enjoy the town’s heritage.
Outdoor opportunities
With southwestern Nova Scotia’s open spaces and fresh air, every day is an opportunity:
- Run along the shoreline and listen to the crashing ocean waves.
- Pitch a tent and look up at the stars.
- Hike local trails or take a canoe on nearby waterways.
- In winter, try sliding, hockey, skating, ice fishing, or a polar bear dip with friends.
