 Walking in Point Pleasant Park, Spring 2007 (HRM)
|
"We enjoy watching the wildlife, the ships and yachts coming and going from the harbour and the Northwest Arm. I especially enjoy the ever changing light over the water in the mornings. It ranges from icy steam, through fog and rain to golden sunlight, and the sea itself is never the same twice."
A. West, Halifax
These Boots Were Made For Walking
Generations of citizens and visitors have strolled the roads and pathways of Point Pleasant Park-- and what a great place to show your pedestrian habits!
The park has a variety of woodland and seaside walks that will delight, relax, inspire, or challenge you. You will be sharing the park with adults and children, park workers, dog walkers and their loyal canine companions, cyclists, runners, picnickers, artists, birders, urban wildlife, and Eddie the cranky red squirrel (don't worry, he's not cranky all the time).
