Although close to downtown Halifax, PPP feels a world away. I enjoy walking the various trails through the park while learning about the local history. It’s amazing to see so many intact and wonderfully preserved structures, each one with informative descriptions. Lots of places to stop and rest (benches are plentiful). The views overlooking the water are stunning. Plenty of parking (upper and lower parking lots), or if you’re looking for a longer walk, the park is accessible from downtown via either a path that runs along the harbour front, past the cruise/shipping terminals or via the suburban South End neighborhood.

I had done a lot of walking during my day in Downtown Halifax, but I did want to see some of the more rural parts of the city. This park offers many walkways through these deep tree-lined woods. I really enjoyed the ability to get in touch with nature while I was visiting one of the biggest cities of Canada. I was sure that the fall foliage must have been amazing here. There was free parking on the premises. Downtown Halifax was about a ten (10)-minute drive away.

A very nice place for a quiet walk. There are many places to sit. Very comfortable paths for jogging or walking the dog. Cyclists are permitted to ride on designated trails during Saturdays, Sundays and holidays. My wife and I came here when it was drizzling and a bit "stormy" near the shore, but it was even cool. Very nice and pleasant sea air. There are several small parking lots near entrances to the park. Several interesting historical places and monuments. Overall, a great place, I recommend visiting if you really have at least an extra 3 hours.
