The area bounded by Thistle, Victoria, Nantucket and Wyse includes Dartmouth High, the soccer field the bus terminal and the Sportsplex is one part of the larger area known and identified in section 66 of the HRM Charter as Dartmouth Common. That area is one lot with one PID.
The former Scotiabank lot was part of the original common but is not part of the legislation.
The parking area is for transit users and Sportsplex users and a permit is required and available for purchase from the Sportsplex.
The original common extended to Boland and then along Wyse to Lyle and down to the harbour.
This report provides all the details

and page 16 of the report shows the original grant of Dartmouth Common in 1788
