Located along the shores of the beautiful Bay of Quinte and the mighty Moira River, the “Friendly City”
offers a wealth of activities for young and old alike.  Belleville is one of Ontario’s premiere cold water
fishing resources and we offer world renowned sports fishing year-round, and play host to a number of
fishing tournaments.  In summer, baseball and soccer reign supreme, along with sports like yachting
and rowing.  Belleville winters offer an array of activities including hockey, skating, ice-sailing and ice-
fishing to name a few.  Children will enjoy playing at Zwick’s Park or the Pirate Ship Park at North
Riverside as well as the Skate Board Park.  Enjoy a walk, run or in-line skate along more than 13km of beautiful waterfront trails.  Belleville’s waterfront is a bustling place from spring to late fall, with boats
cruising in from around the world, and local residents docking their boats for the season.  The waterfront serves as a focal point for a variety of regattas, fishing tournaments, festivals and celebrations.  Belleville
is home to the OHL Champion Belleville Bulls, Quinte Curling Club, bowling facilities and other family-
oriented recreational programs.  Belleville’s YMCA offers an indoor pool and a full range of facilities and programs, as do other private health clubs.
