if you are looking for a relaxing stroll for an hour, then this is a good place. Very peaceful and right on the water. I do not live in Halifax, but visit about 6 times a year. I try and go for a stroll around the park at least once in the summer and once in the fall.

Besides the grassy areas, there are benches and picnic tables at various points in the park, and you will see people in the park having lunch. There are running trails as well, and there are people walking dogs.

There are a number of war memorials (This WAS a fort back in the day), so it is also a good time for reflection.

One thing though, I have seen quite a few dogs off leash in the last few years. I do not believe that this is allowed. I don't care how friendly your dog is, I don't want a german shepherd sniffing my crotch. This is the main reason I walk during the day on week days, when there are less dogs.

A popular, dog-friendly, park in Halifax's south end. Lots of parking, trails for walking and jogging, grassy fields with wonderful harbour views, canons and historical buildings ... a little something for everyone. Love it there.
