  • Perfect after dinner spot! Our hotel was a short walk away from this beautiful location. Many evenings during our vacation we would finish the day with a stroll thru these beautiful gardens.

  • I love to start or end my day with a walk through the Public Gardens. The change of the seasons is beautiful here.

  • Beautiful garden and maintained very well! The paths are easy to walk on. The flowers were in full bloom. There were people just taking a stroll, sitting on park benches, or grabbing a bite with friends/coworkers. Great place to eat outside. I can imagine locals coming here for daily walks. There are probably events held at the park as well during the summer. So glad I got to visit while I was in Halifax!
  • Stunning display of Victorian gardens, carefully laid out and well tended for public enjoyment. Tours are offered and Volunteers are available to answer questions. A small coffee shop offers lighter fare for a snack. Test rooms are also available on site. Lovely bridges and meandering water features are planted with lovely trees, shrubs, and flowers. A must see for the garden enthusiast.
  • So beautiful, peaceful, clean, well maintained garden, free walk-in, parking on the street $1.50/hr. Public Wifi available. Even on a hot day, nice breeze inside the garden. Grab a sandwich and a drink, find a bench with shade by the water, enjoy your meal, take nap if you want 🤣 keep the area clean. #animals are not scared of human presence
  • Do you love flowers and have a couple of hours to spare - then go here. Entry is free and it's in the hub of Halifax - saw a lot of buses so it's well connected I think. You can walk around or sit and enjoy all the different flowers. if you are driving then there's parking just outside the gardens.
  • What a beautifull garden in the core of the city! We went there for a nice walk. The flowers were beautiful. Very cool garden to hangout with friends and family.. Cool spot some some romantic dates too. :)
