Forest Hills, Nova Scotia

Forest Hills is a subdivision in the community of Cole Harbour and in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in the Halifax Regional Municipality.

Forest Hills is a new town developed by the former Nova Scotia Housing Commission, a provincial agency, which purchased the land in 1971.

In the early 1970s, the Nova Scotia Department of Highways constructed the Forest Hills Parkway, the main road serving the development.

[2][3] The master plan, released in 1974, called for eleven predominantly residential development phases as well as a town centre and an interconnected network of parks.

[4] Scotia Stadium opened in 1975 with funding from the Housing Commission and later evolved into the Cole Harbour Place sports and recreation centre.
