Located in Halifax’s South end, this park is the cornerstone of the city. It has been the #1 spot for Haligonians to walk the dog (off-leash friendly), go for a jog, or a bike ride. The park is full of history as evidenced by its numerous old British fortifications and aged beauty. The location is such that you have a view of the ocean and a good feeling of serenity even without leaving the city. The park can be fairly crowded at peak times, but in general it is a calm experience. Whether you want to grab an ice cream cone and take in a play at Shakespeare by the sea, or just take the family for a nice Sunday stroll, this is the place to be in Halifax. Unfortunately hurricane Juan of 2003 devastated the park’s old growth forest, but it has been recovering nicely. The cache is located just off the trail winter friendly,bring your own writing stick.
