Description: Wentworth Park is a Canadian urban park located in Sydney, part of Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Regional Municipality. The park incorporates the the Kiwanis Banshell, a small network of paved paths, as well as a Playground. The park centres around Wentworth Creek, which form a series of interconnected ponds running through the park. Much of the park is lawn, suitable for informal recreation, with many towering trees for shade. The park encompass 12 acres (4.9 ha) within the former city's boundaries. Granite Admiralty Marker - The British admiralty, in an effort to preserve the woods on its banks for possible used by the British Navy, had granite markers placed along its boundaries to mark the property. The markers, with anchors carved into the stone, indicating that the land belonged to the Admiralty, were placed at four locations. One was located on George Street, one off Argyle Street, not far from the present bandshell, another, now lost, at King's Road and Byng Avenue, and this one at the corner of present Crescent Street and King's Road.
