Our Mission

The Cole Harbour Parks and Trails Association will provide our fellow citizens and visitors a first class trails and park experience in the Cole Harbour area.

About COLE HARBOUR PARKS AND TRAILS ASSOCIATION

This all volunteer group has built and now maintains over 23 km of trails in the Cole Harbour Area of Nova Scotia. The Salt Marsh and Heritage trails, part of the Trans Canada Trail system, form the backbone of our system and have gained widespread praise for the views. We have also built and maintained the Cole Harbour Heritage Park on behalf of the Nova Scotia Department of Lands and Forestry. The Park and the trails provide residents of the Halifax Regional Municipality and visitors from around the world with a valuable resource for recreation, fitness and perhaps most of all the opportunity to have a nature experience complete with varied coastal wildlife close to the urban core. The group successfully leverages grants from all levels of government along with private donations to work closely with local contractors to provide a first class trail and park system at low cost.
