A small park, but with a great playground for kids.

Krystle Sichky

Nice playground!

Reza Amiri

This is one of the beautiful park in the middle of downtown Halifax. Amazing place to enjoy your coffee, or relaxing on the grass, and kids can enjoy on the playground all the day.

Leighton Gingrich (Stahtin)

Nice small park with an updated playground. Interesting monuments with significant historical value, close to hotel, gas bar and grocery stores.

Nice and quiet, but busy park

Amelia Coombes

Can get crowded on the playground and often has birds being feed.

Antish Gopauloo

It's a park. Beautifully lit for Christmas.

scott hope

Great place across from the Westin to take your kids to the park. Lots of swings, climbers and slides. One unsightly piece of equipment was sticking out of the ground covered with a pylon unsecured. Pretty unsafe! Other than that our kids had fun!!! Very clean.

Felix Croc

It's... a park. It's got a playground and a couple of nice statues, as well as many benches all around it. I don't really know what else you'd want from a small park.

Petre Ene

Lovely park

Todd Gibson

Nice evening nice place to visit

Darrell Saunders

Kid friendly park

Rabeea Nasir

It's a nice park with new and clean activity stuff. My 14mo really enjoyed his first time today. It's at a perfect location right opposite the superstore. Probably going again there soon.

Dawit Mahari

JD Surrette

Marjorie Briand

matt whitman

Important Heritage park honouring HALIFAX founder and our shared heritage.

Steven Forest

Great park with impressive historical statue of Governor Cornwallis, the founder of Halifax.

David Rosenblum

Great playground with railroad theme. Cornwallis statue has been removed. He was not a nice man. Do not know details.

Evan Roy

Pleasant

Richard Robb

It was a beautiful spot to relax and wait for our bus back to the airport. We watched children and families on the play equipment. It's nice to see improvements bring made to make it even better.

Kinley Revels

Lovely lights there. Quiet space in the middle of downtown. Family friendly Biba interactive playground too

Phil MacPhail

It was .. Peaceful.

Jennifer Watson

Cute playground with lots of stuff for kids to play on.

Haitham El okda

Nice park for everyone

Dr. Marco Navarro-Genie

Without a doubt the most shameful spot in Halifax. A city that turns on its founder because its amnesiac politicians cannot mount a decent argument in favour of their own history leaves much to be desired. Without process, the statue of Lord Cornwallis was removed so the park is without its former main feature. Shame on Haligonians and their mayor.

Four-Twenty Jes

Across from ten spot. Nice

Pradeep LG

Kids will love this place

Rob G

It's a park!

Navin Rai

My niece who is 7 will not leave this playground. It's got so many funky places for her to run and jump on. Also, she correctly pointed out that it is in the shape of a train, which is worth big points.

Johnny Awesome O

The Edward Cornwallis Park lights at night are so beautiful! Even to just drive by. When the snow falls it makes for a great photo opp. The statue being gone makes the park feel like it's missing something space wise.

Alicia Mollica

There's an ungodly statue of a man who commited genocide on the local aboriginal people put up on a pedistool being presented as a hero. It's like placing a statue of Hitler in a park whereany Jews & people of color frequent.

Gregg

Nice little spot for lunch more than 6 months of the year when the weather is good

Zuby S

A great place. It has good space for skating, skateboarding and cycling for kids.

Jeannette Rogers

Great place for kids to play on equipment. I don't like the fact that the statue of Edward Cornwallis has been taken down.

DP Steyn

Cute little park to cool your jets while you wait for your bus or train, have a picnic, or just a little stroll. Wouldn't want to be around too late at night alone though.

Shell and Meg Shute

Too early to see activity but lit up nicely

Cyril Hatfield

Wonderful experience

Kamel Benrabah

Nice and peaceful place.

B Dem

(Translated) Nice children's park with shops for adults and families around. Decorated with a work of art in homage to Ukrainian immigration, it is unfortunately populated by strange people who have established a camp there. (Original) Beau parc d'enfants avec des commerces pour les adultes et les familles autour. Décorée d'une oeuvre d'art en hommage à l'immigration ukreniaine, il est malheureusement peuplé de gens bizarre qui y ont établis un campement.

Duane Whitty

Apart from the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the name of this park and the terrible acts perpetrated by its namesake, the park is a beautiful greenspace in the south end of the city. It's very peaceful and many parents bring their children there to play.

Claude Elliott

Great place to go for a walk when visiting Halifax

Taylor Arbuckle

Great playground, very progressive of the city to remove the statue, close to good busses, a superstore, and a train station, and the park itself is quite big with things to appeal to most peoplez a playground, benches, and a nice train theme

Chrïs

Great little playground with swings and slides and a neat set that resembles a train. The ground is a soft rubber that does heat up on hot days so bare feet become impossible. There's no water fountains either so make sure to bring some since there's so much to do, kids tend to want to stay extra long.

Mobile Oppression Palace

Such a shame they had to remove that statue to satiate a loud minority. As a newcomer to Canada and a tourist to Halifax, I find the idea of having a statue of that great city’s founder by its civic gateway of sorts—it being by the train station—to be rather fitting. And should the man depicted have had any racist sentiments, I feel satisfaction in the fact that his statue stands (or at least it used to) unable to express any objection, as I freely walk about and explore the city that he founded.

David Boyd

Great place to relax and enjoy a family picnic or an outdoor lunch break, close Hotel and businesses core.

Valerie Spidle Davis

Kept very clean.....children love the play equipment. No garbage to be seen. No animal feces. No pea gravel to fall on. All rubber lay for safety. Shade from surrounding trees.

Chris Pilkington

Nice park for quiet reflection

Blair Sanderson

How is this park still called Cornwallis Park? They had this whole controversy about the statue of Cornwallis and then they took it down, but the park name remains? Weird.

Jack Tebay

It's beautiful there when the sun is shining it's well looked after I love it there

Tristan Crane

Great park, horrible statue. Should be torn down or something.

Kevin Li

The park had a very nice too notch playground, and I really enjoyed riding on the round swing with multiple people. Overall, great experience

Brandon Skeete

Lots to do and lots of room! My son loves this park! Grocery store nearby for tagteaming groceries and outdoor play!

Qasem (Dr. Q)

Very nice little park. Street parking is available around it

Sebastian Kluth

Edward Cornwallis Park is just across the Via Rail terminal. It's a beautiful place to relax in the summer. There are sculptures and there is a playground for kids. You can see plenty of families with their children and dogs. There are some banks and picnic tables. The only negative aspect is that there some folks walking around bothering tourists and families for money.

Dave George Mabey

Nice place to chill waiting for the bus

Todd Madore

Lots of open space. Great playground. Several benches & good border shade trees.

Patrick Difford

Nice place to sit down and eat a donair!

Hank 03

Clean park, a lot of car and foot traffic around the park, cool statue, nice big eerie house next to it.

Tracey Lynn

Great park for everyone. The ground is thale foam padding, there's a regular swing, a baby swing and an saucer swing. A bunch of differed slides and spinning structures. And, seating for parents.

Deirdre Lee

Important note to Google/the world: this is the Peace & Friendship Park & when you, Google, change the name I'll give it 5 stars, so get to it.

Saera Kehoe

There are so many Pokestops here ????

Vistan Photography

Has a great playgeound for rhe kids

J. Ross Mayhew

One of Halifax's MANY fine "green spaces". Good place to bring the whole family, even the youngest, or just relax and enjoy. Right by the Westin, the train and bus stations, and the waterfront. Halifax is SOOOO fortunate to have so many lovely little places to relax in, like this.

David

This park is much better without Cornwallis. Great playground!

Mikayla Arsenault

Beautiful park

Villagemayor

Overall a pleasant park to stroll through but also a message of people coming together through friendship and reflection

Brian Lager (Sandylns)

One of the only green spaces left in down town Halifax. A nice intimate area much appreciated by residents and tourists alike. Located adjacent to the Westin and CN station.

N Booker

Sometimes this park is beautiful (especially after sunset). I love seeing the dogs run around and the play structure being used. I have noticed that the park has had an even more lively atmosphere with the new businesses that have appeared on South. I’m really happy that there is a decent, urban park in my neighbourhood.

Jared Reid

I'd give it a higher rating if they didn't remove the status that was there. ????

Alex Neporozhny

Was a nice surprise to discover the "Vitayemo/Витаемо" monument of Thank you from Ukrainian Diaspora: it is a great educational touch!

Oliver

Not too bad when I was there, small but pretty. However the next day the police evicted the peaceful homeless people.

okjo kim

center of downtown near waterfront. new play gyms and ground.. good place with children .

Richard Cross

Amazing playground for kids.

Gregory S. Durst

What a beautiful day in the park.

Doug Barton

Nice green space with some picnic tables, benches and a play area for the kids.

Paul Creaser

The Christmas kick-off was excellent. Couple.of great musicians at the bandstand. Hot Chocolate enjoyed by many. East Coast Carollers sang up a storm. A good time was had by all.

Bernard Mond

Come here all the time with my wife and baby. We like it because it is close and the water is great.

amazon ww

Not a bad little pokenest. Has an EX gym in it too, so make sure to get a raid in if you are looking for a pass. A recently updated playground on site so of you are the kids having kind of folk you can do that too. Minus one star for being named after a mass murderer.

Bobbi Zahra

Easily accessible by bus, car, or on foot. Children's playground as well.

Christopher Lien

Beautiful park with a playground for playing or sitting.

Andrew Mcdonald

Ok place to chill

Bob Noakes

The city did a great job on the playground. A great place for little kids. Don't miss the statue of Cornwallis at all. Nice shops around the perimeter as well.

Tom ONeil

Now controversial, because of the statue of Halifax founder Edward Cornwallis that was recently removed, including its pedestal.

Dylan

Needs name changed to: "Hobos campground"

don ambler

Edward is gone into storage. In trouble for striking back at first nation people in 1750.

Geneviève Brideau

Much nicer now without Cornwallis in it (also the new childrens playground is lovely) looking forward to seeing what will be placed in the centre instead of this old murderer

Esron Blavinskij

Picnic tables are nice, there are some restaurants nearby to enjoy

Julie Godwin

Lovely park in downtown Halifax

CC Mizrahi

Beautiful place but there's a wasp nest so good luck eating here

Jennifer Walters

It was nice

Dee Caldwell

Beautiful.. memories ❤️

Richard Taylor

This park honors the founder of Halifax who placed a bounty on the scalps of tribal men, women and children. It's disgusting, and should be removed.

Stephen Hickey

Great new playground

Stan Beland

Central, clean and a good mix of things to play on for kids of different ages.

mei mei Sing

Nice small park right in south downtown.

JP CW

Homeless sleep on benches, surrounded by litter and the joyful cries of a few children playing next to them

Sarah Myers

Nice park to go take a evening stroll

Daniel Costain

Very peace and VERY friendship. Could use a lamp on the playground for nighttime swingsetting

Jeremy Fillmore

Formerly known as Cornwallis park, this park serves as a reminder to us all that we are settlers on traditional and unceded Mi'qmaki land.

Jim Faulkner

Great little park.

Randy G

Very family friendly, with a playground, and benches to sit at.

m anders

Nice park to hang out in. Great play ground for all ages. Class to everything you need, would be a great afternoon our for lunch you bring it pick up from a closer by place or even the grocery store. We went in a rainy day and people were still out enjoying.

Carly Kyle

Great place for kids to play and my 8yr old says the playground is awesome

Beatrice Sainsbury

This is a beautiful little park my Grandkids really enjoyed it they had some fun...

Daniel Williams

Nice and clean aside from a few bums asleep on benches.

A S

Not a destination except for playground if you have kids, it's too small. But great patch of grass to walk your dog or sit at a picnic table if you live nearby.
