Dartmouth Common Oven

Dartmouth's volunteer-run wood-fired oven and garden. Leighton Dillman Park on the Dartmouth Common, near the corner of King St and Park Ave.

The Dartmouth Common Oven is a volunteer-run wood-fired oven and garden. We are located in the Leighton Dillman Park on the Dartmouth Commons directly inside the gate off Park Avenue. (Google Map: http://goo.gl/maps/8bMe)

This project is an initiative of committed citizens with the goal to provide an inclusive venue for community gatherings and events centred on food education and enjoyment. We

are formally registered as a non-for-profit as the Leighton Dillman Park Oven, Garden, and Orchard Association. Please contact us for volunteer or sponsorship opportunities.

Sadly the weather is not cooperating for our planned open oven on Saturday November 8

10/30/2025

We’ve decided to cancel the open oven for this Saturday, November 1 due to the forecasted high winds and volunteer availability. We hope to be open through the other Saturdays in November if the weather cooperates!

10/24/2025

We are open for our Saturday open oven tomorrow, October 25 from 12-2! Bring your pizza (or other items to cook) and see you there!

10/17/2025

Great news! We have approval to re-open for Saturday open ovens starting tomorrow, October 18 from 12-2. Come see us to cook and celebrate being together again!

10/09/2025

The burn map is still red for the whole province, so we have been advised to remain closed for this weekend. If the burn map changes later in the month we will announce our re-opening!

10/03/2025

CANCELLED FOR SATURDAY OCTOBER 4!

Although the total fire ban was lifted, the fire restrictions have turned back to “red,” where burning is not allowed. Sadly this means we will not open tomorrow as planned. We’re talking with the city to get clearer guidance on where the oven fits with the bylaws, as it’s not quite an indoor fire yet not quite an outdoor fire!

We will continue to post updates on our social media for when we might be back.

09/30/2025

Our fall 2025 open oven schedule is Saturdays 12-2. We will post about any cancellations in our stories.

Bring the food you want to cook in the oven and we’ll see you there!
