Frog Pond Park — Attraction in Halifax

Great for cycling, doggie walking, short family outings, or just simply to relax for a while in a wild but very safe setting....

One of my favourite short walks with my Dog and Kids! The trail isn't maintained in the winter so keep that in mind as it can get icy. It is a Beautiful walk through the woods with a necessary stop by the lake to see the Ducks. Many people take notice of the Single Beautiful Wood Duck among all the other Mallards. There is a couple paths off the Duck Pond trail leading towards the Dingle also.
