The view of Halifax Harbor was absolutely beautiful! During the walk to get to the ferry terminal, my daughter and I got front row seats to the train driving right beside us: that was an experience she will remember for the rest of her life. ☺️☺️ The boat runs smoothly. The terminal is clean and well organized. Ps. My phone died before I could get pictures of the terminal, boat, or playground.

We took the ferry across from Halifax specifically for our grandkids to play at this park. The ferry ride was fun. The playground was worth it. The had unique playground that our grandkids loved. The only drawback was no public restroom for the playground. We had to go back to the ferry terminal for that. Still it was a fun time for them.

My son loves this park and so do I. It provides some of the best views you can get of the waterfront and there are ample seating areas to help you relax. My son likes the playground and the grassy areas to play on. Great location for an evening stroll.

The ferry was beautiful and clean on the inside. They had a presenter from the NB museum who had a display about local wildlife including whales, which was really interesting. They had a child care center and the girls running it were awesome, they did alot of crafts and entertained my 5year old. The ferry provided 2 movie choices pf movies and lots of sitting. There was food and alcohol options on board but we only got coffee, which was tasty. Overall it was a great crossover and I would...

Great place to watch the Canada Fireworks. As close as one could get without being on a boat. The barge is much closer to this side than the Halifax side. Can really feel the explosion. Lots of dance music playing, with some truck vendors for food along with local restaurants.

Only negative was, I saw dozens of teens smoking pot, and some probably 12-13 yrs old. And I had a 12 yr old with me.

Lots of police around but being 2019, I guess that's not a concern.

Was a nice location but the park was overrun with homeless groups and the feeling was tense as they were starting to get rowdy with one another.

We traveled there with four children and it was nice that the park had games out on the grass to play but while they were playing, two young girls were lying but 10 feet from them contorted at a picnic bench on drugs.

We did not feel safe there and it was quite depressing. I hope these folks find the help they need 🙏
