Victoria Park Campground

In the middle of the waterfront action, the Victoria Park Campground sits on the edge of the Cobourg beach with over 50 lots for camping, washroom areas, and a dumping station for trailers and much more!

To learn more about the Victoria Park Campground, visit the Cobourg Marina website.

Outdoor Rink

During the winter months, the fountain in Rotary Waterfront Park is transformed into a large skating rink for all ages to enjoy. The ice surface is flooded twice daily (weather dependant) and is open at all hours. The bus shelter doubles as a warm area for putting skates on and off.

Weather permitting, we try to maintain our outdoor rink until March Break.

Sports Fields

There are a large number of different sports fields from baseball to soccer to tennis. A full list of the sports fields in the town can be found here.

Dog Park

In 2014, we opened an off leash dog park located at 777 Ontario Street. This park is open to all dogs big and small as long as they have a dog tag from their home municipality.
