Parker's Cove has good community spirit. The church, clinic and community hall were all built during the 1960s by residents of the community working for free labour. Recently the community hall and church were renovated using free labour and a new playground was built. The community is fully serviced with a water and sewer system. We have a good soccer field, community playground and recreation centre. Parker's Cove is a scenic community with well maintained properties.
