Point Pleasant Park, Halifax

What a surprise to find a park like this so close to the city's downtown. We heard a lot about the park after Halifax was hit by the hurricane, so on a recent trip we decided to have a look for ourselves. The forest must have been lovely with all old trees, but we found it beautiful with lots of wildflowers and beautiful views of the ocean. Wide park roads made walking easy, although some of the steep hills were a bit of a surprise! Plan on a couple hours of discovery in the park.
