In the heart of Nova Scotia’s South Shore, Yarmouth offers a spacious, fenced off-leash dog park along the scenic Broad Brook Trail — a great spot for dogs and their owners to connect with nature and the community.
The Yarmouth Dog Park, located beside the Broad Brook Trail, features two distinct enclosures for large and small dogs. It’s fully fenced, open year-round, and a local favourite for off-leash fun. The park was made possible by local volunteers and continues to be supported by the town and its dog-loving community.
