Never more than 1 minute to the water, one of our largest recreational assets is our natural environment.  A walk along the shore can provide great exercise and a chance to reconnect with nature – just remember to watch the tides.  In Blacks Harbour you can enjoy a personal connection with the Bay of Fundy.

 

In addition to our natural wonders, the municipality, Blacks Harbour Elementary School and other community partners have made investments in our parks and recreational facilities to meet the needs of residents and visitors alike. 

 

Parks

Main Street Park is the heart of our community celebrations.  Most community events are hosted from the Park, weather permitting, including Canada Day Celebrations, Labour Day Festival Concerts and Fireworks and Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.  With washroom facilities, a bandstand and electricity, this is a great spot to host a function and is typically free of charge.  Please contact the Municipal Office for more information; we love to see the park in use.

 

Mill Brook Park is located on the bank of Mill Brook and in the area of the first sawmill that was built in Blacks Harbour in 1930.  This site features sheltered picnic tables and is a busy spot with residents and tourists alike.  This is a great spot to have a picnic lunch on your way to Grand Manan.

Playgrounds

There are four playgrounds located in the municipality for the enjoyment of our children and families.  The brand new playground located at the Blacks Harbour Elementary School has been specially designed for the enjoyment of children under twelve and the playground located on Main Street (near the Fundy Arena) includes baby swings. 

 

In addition, the playgrounds located at Deadmans Harbour Road and Wellington Road offer basic playground equipment for all ages.

 

Fundy Arena

Built in 1967, the Fundy Arena is the heart of winter ice sports in Eastern Charlotte County.  Home to the Brunswick Curling Club, Fundy Minor Hockey, the Industrial League and Figure Skating, the Arena is a busy spot.  During the winter season, you can contact the Arena directly at 456-3934 or you can contact the Municipal Office at 456-4870.

 

The Brunswick Curling Club offers curling, darts and could be a potential venue for your next event.  With a full service kitchen and bar, the Brunswick Curling Club is a great spot for dances and wedding receptions.
