GREETINGS FROM THE MAYOR
The City of Charlottetown continues to be small
town hospitality with big city amenities as can
be seen in the many wonderful parks, trails and
recreational facilities throughout our Capital
City. Parks and Recreation is an essential
service provided by our municipal government
and in 2011 has special significance as we
celebrate a designation as a 2011 Cultural
Capital of Canada. Our services are designed to reach out to
all citizens, regardless of age or ability level as well as provide
quality experiences for those who visit.
Our programs, services and facilities are all designed to enhance
the quality of life for City residents, promoting a healthy and
active lifestyle. Many services offered in our community and
featured in this brochure are organized by volunteers, many of
whom are long serving and very dedicated to the programs they
offer. I want to take this opportunity to thank those volunteers
for their selfless commitments to these important programs in
our community.
As you review this promotional brochure, you will realize that
there is something for everyone where inclusion and active
living are key considerations.
My wish for all citizens of this City during this year of being
designated as a Cultural Capital of Canada is that you all enjoy
happy, healthy times with your families and have a wonderful
summer!
Sincerely,
Clifford J. Lee
MAYOR

The boardwalk in Victoria Park was completed in 1994 and is one of the most successful
leisure recreation projects in the City of Charlottetown. The Park boardwalk is part of a
larger boardwalk, sidewalk, walking trail system from Confederation Landing Park to the
Victoria Park lighthouse. Much of the boardwalk borders the waterfront. This walking
trail is open year round for thousands of Charlottetown residents and visitors. The
boardwalk is lighted to allow people to enjoy evening walks. This is part of the Routes
for Nature and Health Trail System.
There are sites of historic and cultural significance to be seen along the boardwalk
including the battery Fort Edward, Celtic Monument and Beaconsfield Historic House.
The historic battery, Fort Edward, includes the cannons and powder house. The battery
62

was moved to Victoria Park in 1805. The Celtic Monument is dedicated to the Irish
descendents from the 32 counties in Ireland who settled in Prince Edward Island in the
19th Century. Beaconsfield Historic House is an enduring symbol of Victorian elegance.
