Tantramar is full of spaces where kids can run, climb, explore, and cool off. From neighbourhood parks to schoolyards and splash pads, there’s no shortage of spots for families to enjoy the outdoors.
Fresh air, big smiles, and lots of room to play.
The star of the show is Bill Johnstone Memorial Park in Sackville, which combines a fun, accessible playground with a splash pad that’s a summer favourite for kids of all ages. It’s a great place for a full afternoon of play—with shaded picnic areas nearby for snacks and breaks.
In Dorchester, you’ll find a community playground in Richard Park that’s well-loved by local families. It offers a safe and friendly space for kids to climb, slide, and burn off some energy, and it’s a popular gathering spot for neighbourhood playdates. You’ll also find playgrounds at Beech Hill Park and a Natural Playground at Lillas Fawcett Park, offering more ways for kids to stay active and enjoy the outdoors in natural, scenic settings.
Tantramar is also home to several school playgrounds, which are managed by the province but open for public use outside of school hours. These playgrounds, located throughout the region, provide additional options for families looking to get outside and play close to home.
