A very nice park located outside the center of town, somewhere to visit if you want to get away from the sidewalks and city streets. There are recreational opportunities and places to have a picnic.… Full review by Thomas V

Very beautiful park with a lot of trails and nice views. There are a few old fort buildings left from a long time ago as well which is quite nice. Highly recommended! Full review by Jean-Francois L

Nope - just park in the upper parking lot, grab a delicious ice cream from the friendly folks at the corner convenience store there and start walking! I recommend going straight on the path so you can see Martello Tower on the right, the old fort on the left, straight through to the beach on the Noethwest Arm. Then you can follow the water to go back, check out the big bandstand/gazebo, the sailors memorial, and end at Black Rock beach. Then you can walk back up the road to the upper parking lot, either through the park or on the sidewalk by the road. Enjoy!
Q:
what about the audio narratives available for this park..where to get them?

Overcrowded with dogs

Q:
Is there public transportation to the park?
A:
Pretty sure there are buses that take you to the park. Not sure of the routes but you can check the Halifax transit website. They won't let me post the link here.
