Mount Pearl

Mount Pearl is a city on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. In recent years Mount Pearl has seen great growth in all sectors of the city. Donovan's Industrial Park continues to grow; residential areas also continue to grow as more and more people move into the suburban city, and commercial growth is at an all-time high with the development of the Pearlgate Commercial Center. Mount Pearl does face problems as growth continues; it is surrounded in three directions (north, south and east) by the city of St. John's and on the west by the town of Paradise thus has very little breathing room to grow; Southlands, now a part of St. John's, was a large part of the community's future growth plans between the current city and Cochrane Pond Provincial Park. Southlands was annexed by St. John's under the Wells administration in 1992. Area Code: 709
