A new recreation hub is now in Wolfville, beside the Harvest Moon Trailhead, after being installed in the East End Gateway Park earlier today. The new Rec Hub, located at 282 Main Street, across from Willow Park, will house the Town’s new equipment loan program, featuring 20 new bikes and many helmets.
The hub’s equipment loan program is intentionally launching with new bicycles as an important part of Wolfville’s active transportation development project. Wolfville’s Active Transportation Network will see more than 10 kilometres of routes created throughout the community in the years ahead.
The new bicycle fleet features many electrified models plus a specialized e-trike with bench seating to ensure every member of our community will have an opportunity to get around Town on the new network, that is being developed for all ages and abilities of users.
The recreation hub is housed in a former sea can and will be wrapped with bright graphics. During the warmer weather, staff will work from the space, coordinating equipment loans and group programming to get everyone comfortable with the idea of rolling and strolling along the active transportation network.
More details will be announced throughout the winter months with the official launch happening in the spring.
