Cycling, hiking, baseball, canoeing, skateboarding – whatever your lifestyle, you can take it to the next level in Yarmouth. Our town and the surrounding areas offer a wide range of sports fields, multi-use trails, waterways, and facilities.
With Yarmouth Recreation, you can quickly 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.
Looking for something in the great outdoors? At the Yarmouth Skate Park (131 Main Street), you can show off your skills with challenging ramps, rails, and curbs for riders of all ages! Or take a walk through the centuries in our historic downtown.
With southwestern Nova Scotia's open spaces and fresh air, every day is an opportunity. Run along the shoreline amongst the crashing ocean waves. Pitch a tent and look up at the stars. Hike the trails or take a canoe. In the winter, you can go sliding, play hockey, skate, ice fish, or polar bear diving with friends. Discover more at the Yarmouth & Acadian Shores website.
You can also find a variety of local events happening throughout the year by checking out our community events calendar.
Yarmouth also features a breathtaking 18-hole golf course with a history dating back to the early 1800s. Its links-style layout offers a panoramic view of the local lighthouse and the Atlantic – with rolling fairways, small greens, and unpredictable ocean breezes that make the Yarmouth Links a course you'll feel proud to conquer.
