Public Docks Replacement

The Town of New Glasgow is pleased to share that the public docks outside Glasgow Square Theatre (155 Riverside Parkway) have been replaced with new EZ Dock floating docks. This project was supported through $33,000 from the Province of Nova Scotia’s Recreation Facility Development Grant and $27,200 from the Trans Canada Trail’s Trail Catalyst Fund.

The new docks replace the aging wooden dock system with durable, low-maintenance materials expected to last more than 40 years. This investment improves safety, accessibility, and public access to Amasipukwejk (The East River) for residents and visitors.

The docks support recreational use for paddlers, include the existing accessible kayak launch, and are also used annually for the Race on the River Pictou County Dragon Boat Festival.

We look forward to seeing this waterfront space continue to be enjoyed for many years to come! Thank you to the Province of Nova Scotia and Trans Canada Trail for investing in our community.
