I wish I lived closer to "Shubie Park" and I'd be there all the time. Lots of beautiful scenery here. It is great for walking. I wouldn't call it hiking as it is all wide, crusher dust, pathways with very little up and down. Walking paths are mainly tree covered. You can easily push your stroller anywhere. There is off leash parks and places for the dogs to run into the water. It's also great fro canoeing and kayaking. There are tonnes of squirrels and we saw mallards and bluejays as well. There are a couple of beaches. There are no playgrounds for the younger children. Paths are a little confusing but it is hard to get lost. There are the occasional maps along the way. Might be best to take a picture of the first one you see. It is off the Waverly road. Take Locks Road. The main entrance is at the very end of Locks Road, although there is a smaller parking lot just before that which intersects the main walking path. We were there mid-morning on a beautiful Saturday and, although busy, we found a parking spot. When we left an 1.5 hours later, cars were parked all along Locks Road. It was tricky to social distance at the very beginning but the crowd quickly thinned out. You can even walk across the highway and go to Dartmouth Crossing. The Fairbanks Centre at the main parking lot was closed. Not sure if this is a COVID-19 thing or if it is only open during the week. There was also a nice little restaurant that was closed. There are outdoor bathrooms there. Go to Nine Locks Brewery for a beer after.
