Cornwallis Park

No views of the water anymore… But a great place for a morning walk on the way to the waterfront.

Cornwallis Square has come a long way from the times my family would be staying at the Hotel across the street and I would watch strangely dressed ladies get in and out of cars. (Sample Conversation: «Mommy, she’s getting in another one! Why does that lady have so many friends with cars? Where are they going!?»)
These conversations actually happened. Ask my mother.
These days Cornwallis Square is not a hot spot for sad men, but rather a really nice green space in the downtown of Halifax. This is a great spot to go for a picnic when the weather gets warmer and offers enough space to toss a ball around all year round.
The square features a really nice statue of Edward Cornwallis (Read a history book) as well as some odd modern art pieces. There is a small playground for children and benches for those just looking to read a book or have some lunch without the risk of grass stains.
Overall I would say this is a nice little park to check out all year round, but especially on a sunny day in the summer. If you happen to see a lady getting in and out of a lot of cars, take the advice my mother gave me and do not approach.
