Isleville Playground — Attraction in Halifax

My kids and I love this park!

A major perk, is that the entire park is fenced in. There are 3 different spread out playground structures…. almost as if they’re for different age groups. There’s 2 different swing sets, the smaller swing set is for babies/ small toddlers. The bigger swing set in the back of the park has 2 baby seats but mainly big kid seats. There’s a sandbox! An open feild area to do some fun things. There’s a Gazebo, lots of benches, Splash Pad, Picnic tables, and lots of trees for shaded areas. Sometimes there is an Outhouse (because there’s no bathroom) by the fence.

There is also a Daycare/ After School/ Community like, Building that offers these sorts of things.

Sometimes there are lots of teenagers that hangout here- usually they’re mindful of the kids…. So far, I’ve had positive interactions with them.

I rate it a 4/5 stars!

• My only dislike about this park, is the garbage. I’m sad by the amount of trash that is left and thrown around there. Family’s that leave items, or the piles and piles around different areas of belongings (wet socks/ shoes/ soggy clothes- towels/ underwear/ Hats etc.) that are just left there for days. I see kids touching the most rampant and disgusting things here. The HRM public garbage bins- overflowing with trash, all over the ground and blowing around.

I spend too much time picking up garbage here, just so that my kids are not tempted to touch it or put it in their mouths.

Especially with things like needles being found in different areas in Halifax, where children play.

For what the Building on the Parks property offers to the Community, I think the garbage situation should be addressed and handled more...

This is a great place to take your child/ren to play. It has three sets of play equipment for different age groups, swings for different ages, and lots of running space. In the summertime there is also a sprinkler system. Only drawback for sure is that there is no bathroom facility for anyone. Not sure if there is in the summertime or not. People with dogs seem to respect this area and do clean...

Three pokestops here and a gym that you can reach from the fence. There is a little community centre here too, it hosts yoga and some painting things I've been told. The spawns are pretty good. It would be nice if the park had dog hours (but I'm sure people would abuse it and the city doesn't want to deal...
