Parks & Nature

Located in Halifax’s South End, this 185-acre park is the cornerstone of the city. The #1 spot for Haligonians to walk the dog, go for a jog, or a bike ride for generations. The park is largely available for off-leash dog walking, but for Sailors Memorial Way, Cambridge Drive and the parking lots. The large, well maintained, wide crusher-dust pathways are alive with wild plants, birds and friendly squirrels galore. There are plenty of benches and picnic tables throughout the park, so you don’t have to travel far to find a spot to sit and enjoy.
