Reviews of Africville Park (Park)

Albina Ziatdinova

Nice little park on right under McKay bridge. Beautiful views, parking not too big and park itself quite small, but has a playground.

Ty - Son Flint

This is where I'm from my ancestors my name is on the plaque the first black settlers

Bas Dawod

Beautiful and quiet place as not too many people go there. If only the playground was bigger more.

Caleb Babin

Hands down one of the best places to catch a sunset in Halifax, minus as Bubbles would say: ''greeeasy '' stuff going on in the parking lot.

Matthew Keogh

Beautiful park on the water with some interesting historical significance for Halifax.

Daniel MacKay

Beautiful view of the Bedford Basin, interpretation of the historic black community here, good for a picnic or walk with or without the dog.

A wonderful day during the Africville Reunion with a book reading by author Shauntay Grant.

Percy A Paris

This is a must visit destination whether your a visitor or not. Anyone coming to the site should drop in to the replication of the church build on site and talk to the knowledgeable staff and learn more about the Africville story. A story woven in the Nova Scotia fabric and told around the world. A MUST stopping place and well on it's way to becoming a 5!

John Chang

Nice place to photograph bridge

Kelly David

Sooo peacefull

It's a lovely spot with some memorials to the community that was displaced in the 1960's. Areas can be booked for special events through the city (HRM). We attended an outdoor, socially distanced wedding with some attendees having lived there when it was a community. There was a birthday party taking place nearby as well.

Beautiful park under the bridge

Ken Parrett

Beautiful park located under the Mackay Bridge. There is a boat launch there, picnic benches, walking paths, and children's playground. Un-fortunately, there are no washrooms . This park is also located beside the Africville Museum.

Kaleigh Burns

Seems a bit unsafe some days

Tristan Joudrey

Don't come here after dark some individuals will approach you and ask you to do things you may not want to do.

zcarea abbas

I spent all the day there it is very nice

Paul McKinnon

Beautiful little corner of nature, and has a boat launching slip next to the parking lot (I assume it is public). Just remeber that it is located between the dump and several container piers at the end of North Marginal Rd, so manage your attendance accordingly.

Les Dodos

(Translated) Place to spend the night with your RV! Nice look on the bridge. A little noisy and very frequented at night by an unorthodox clientele! (Original) Place pour passer la nuit avec son RV! Joli coup d'œil sur le pont. Un peu bruyant et très fréquenté de nuit par une clientèle peu orthodoxe!

Joseph

My only wish would be that there were more markers for the former buildings from Africville on the grounds and that the grounds had better upkeep. This is a very important location in Canada's history and I couldn't help but feel that it's not treated that way by the various levels of government.

Luz Williams

Beautiful view

Robert Garnier

Lovely place where some peace can be found in the city. Don't know why the gate was closed. Picnic tables for a meal.

Jibin Varghese Mathewson

Daniel Mark Wheaton

Cute park. Sad history.

Pam W

Lovely park with important historical significance.

Art Hill

A nice small park in North End Halifax. It is a bit difficult to get to but it is worth the effort. The park provides lovely views of the Bedford Basin, and the Africville Church museum on site provides an excellent history of the community that once occupied this area.

Evan Hardy

Great park for a short stroll, would really benefit from an offleash dog area though.

syed ahd

Samantha A.

Beautiful quiet memorial park. New interpretive historical signs. Some noise at the end by the church from the container port and where they are filling in the harbour. Dogs allowed on leash. Small playground, picnic tables and benches. Garbage cans and lots of nice young trees. Boat launch in parking lot under bridge. Great spot for family picnic.

Dave Farrell

We need more of this

David McDougall

Nice view

okjo kim

if you want to see near the bridge , it's a great place

David Meng

Great grass land, a perfect place for a short walking and picnic, breath-taking ocean view. Its scale is not big enough for running or cycling.

Mark Bearss

Excellent for Star Fish, Anemones and Wolf Fish den

Dean Pyne

It's really cool to get a different perspective of under the bridge. It is really a shame to hear what happened in Africa park it would be great if a monument of some kind would be established

The view is so nice and so relaxing for you, for the kids and for the pets.

Good for a stroll.

jaclyn rivers

Love this park. Lovely views. Has a public boat launch. A little monument is there too from the Halifax explosion. Great for puppies. I think it’s an on leash park, but many people use it off leash with pets under care and control. There are lights in the parking lot, but no lights throughout the park. A great and safe place during the day time, but gets quite dark around 5:30 during the late fall/ winter. Didn’t have a chance to check out the little museum.

Courtney Rhynold

One of my favorite places to go in the city. So much history in such a calming and peaceful place. Great location for quiet reflection.

Tom Yeomans

We launched kayaks at the public launch. Great for picnics very scenic beautiful area.

Joseph Ducey

Sketchy stuff going on there one day while eating my lunch

Ashley H

We recently started visiting this park and really enjoy the quiet space, the comfortable benches and picnic areas provide a great view of the basin, and now there's a new children's playground. It's not well lit, so we tend to only visit during daylight hours.

maria jose Carmona
