Located in Halifax’s South end, this park is the cornerstone of the city. It has been the #1 spot for Haligonians to walk the dog (off-leash friendly), go for a jog, or a bike ride. The park is full of history as evidenced by its numerous old British fortifications and aged beauty. The location is such that you have a view of the ocean and a good feeling of serenity even without leaving the city. The park can be fairly crowded at peak times, but in general it is a calm experience. Whether you want to grab an ice cream cone and take in a play at Shakespeare by the sea, or just take the family for a nice Sunday stroll, this is the place to be in Halifax. Unfortunately hurricane Juan of 2003 devastated the park’s old growth forest, but it has been recovering nicely. |
