A kid’s park of all parks! Talk about a poster child of parks! The US could take a lesson! A special beautiful spot, with plenty to do for kids small and big kids like us. Plenty of grassy and shaded spaces, far away from roads, and wonderful gardens to explore in.

This is definitely one of the very few parks where you see the parents and children can play together on the different kinds of structures around. You can tell the space is well maintained and gives the kids a variety of things to do while in the park. There is even a very large tic tac toe game and chimes to bang on. The most impressive part is the well maintained and clean restrooms! Bravo Canada!

Fort Needham Memorial Park

Fort Needham by far my favorite park in Halifax. We stumbled upon it completely by accident and was pleasantly surprised to find that the entire park was a memorial and is beautifully done. The landscaping has been designed to tell the story of the Halifax explosion. A must for history buffs. Incredible green space in the city overlooking the harbor where 2 ships collided on December 6, 1917. D...

Leighton Dillman Park

Found in the heart of Dartmouth, Leighton Dillman Park is a great place to stroll through the paths. It is a bit hilly in places, so it can feel like it's more of a hike. The view is worth the climb. There are benches and shaded, covered, areas where you can rest or enjoy your lunch. There is also the community oven and some gardens. From what we were told, the community gets together on occasi...

Rum Runners Trail to Tantalon

Trail riding can’t get better than this. The Rum Runner trail is a bit tricky to find if you're not from the area, but Google maps will show you the way. This is a popular trail used for hiking, biking, and running, and plenty of places to stop and soak in the amazing views. It starts in Halifax and goes all the way to the colorful town of Lunenburg, which happens to be a UNESCO heritage site. ...

Ferry Terminal Park

If you're looking to hang out in downtown Dartmouth in green space with a view and no hills, Ferry Terminal Park is the spot! The locals say the best view of Halifax can be seen from there. A great farmers market in the terminal and a nice playground park for kids to explore and play. Great spot for a family walk with amazing views of Halifax. The playground is small but the ground is nice and...

Halifax Public Gardens

Halifax Public Gardens was first established by the Nova Scotia Horticultural Society in 1836, and grew to its present size and layout in 1875. It was recognized as a National Historic Site in 1984. The gardens are a perfect display of a Victorian garden, carefully laid out and well-tended for public enjoyment. A must see if you're visiting Halifax! Admission and tours are free, and volunteers...

Explore Georges Island National Historic Site

Georges Island is a historical site with tunnels, a lighthouse, and plenty of Halifax History. It is located in the Halifax Harbor, and there are multiple ferries going to and from the island. Once on the island, you can enjoy self guided tours and scenic views. Remember to bring hiking or sturdy shoes. Ferries generally operate until mid-October, when the season ends.
