Here, but not on the map

Listed by Town of Lewisporte. They aren't on the open map, so we can't give distances. Within the town box, OpenStreetMap holds the Mike Austin Arena, the Notre Dame Rod & Gun Club and three unnamed parks. Nothing below is in it.

  • Lewisporte Recreation ComplexBowater Avenue, the same street as the arena

    The Town lists a regulation size soccer pitch, two softball fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, a skate park, a running and walking track, a playground and a dog park, and says the Mussel Bed Soiree concert is held here.

  • Winter Game Lanes14 Bowater Avenue

    The Town runs a six-lane five-pin bowling centre with an event room, and says it closes from the middle of May until September — which makes it a winter-season thing in a town whose rink runs the same months.
