Maybe I missed it, but I was expecting more details of the actual event. Possibly at the base of the stairs, but we walked up the incline. Trees growing up around the periphery limit the view.

Revitalization of Fort Needham Memorial Park, prior to the 100th anniversary of the Halifax Explosion, made it a fitting tribute to this principal event in city's history.

A novel approach to imparting some of the statistics about the explosion was achieved by having the information cut into corten steel. This rusted steel, often presented beside stainless steel, makes a nice juxtaposition - however - it is, at times, difficult to read the information.
The new st¬aircase commemorating the lost community of Richmond is well done.

Peaceful location for the park with some wonderful trees growing. This monument included lots of information including what the ships carried that caused the enormous explosion and also pieces of the ship were also used when creating this memorial. A wonderful poem is etched into metal with the sunlight shining through. Parking available. The side streets are very hilly to drive on. Go in the evening when the park is quiet and after rush hour. Some teens were smoking behind the memorial, so not very respectful of this tragic event. A must to visit and its free. Easy to find, just program it in your GPS.
