Kite Flying

There is often a stiff breeze at Fort Anne and it’s a great place to fly kites. The views are spectacular!

Croquet

This popular Victorian game is enjoying resurgence in popularity. Try your hand at this gentle sport by borrowing the site’s croquet set and setting up on Parade Square. Be sure to bring a picnic lunch and make it an afternoon.
