Victoria Park
Truro is very fortunate to have a natural park. Victoria Park came into being in 1887 when twenty-five acres of land were given Susan wife of Rev. L. G. Stevens, and the daughter of Dr. John Waddell, for the creation of a public park. A Board of Trustees, with Sir Adams G. Archibald as chairman, was formed. The following year six donations of land were received. Since then, gifts and purchases of other lots of land have increased the area of the park to a thousand acres. In 1901, the trustees were incorporated and by-laws for the park written. This lovely area of woodland and picnic grounds includes water falls, one of which is named for Joseph Howe. The addition of a swimming pool, tennis courts and playgrounds have made the park not just a place of natural beauty, but a real recreation area.
Truro continues to grow at a steady pace. Trucks have taken over from trains for hauling goods and there are many fewer trains going through Truro than 40-50 years ago. A number of factories such as Stanfield’s Ltd, Crossley Carpet Mills Ltd., and Polymer International continue to operate within the town limits. More than 12,000 people regard Truro be a good town to grow up and live.
