Halifax Common

The commons is a great little green space with lots to see and do. The oval is there for the kids to do things in all seasons and it is always bustling. Great place to eat lunch or read a book. Walk your dog or get a jog in. There’s a skate park and playground so lots of options for the whole family.

A really nice park in a great location. However, this park is more geared toward the local community instead of tourists. There are softball diamonds, a skating loop in the winter, plenty of wide open green space that is often filled with people and their various sporting activities. There's a big skate park on the other side of the road and it's a great spot for larger events. They do currently have a plan in place to revitalise the space, but I don't think it will be done soon.

This is a wonderful place for leisure people or students. There is a wide common lawn, skatepark and the area for children to play. Further more, there is public ice-skating in winter. It's convenient to borrow pairs of skating shoes if you have a piece of ID card. There are some learning chair for new skater. In addition, there are permanent public washrooms on the other side of the Halifax Common. It might take a 2 minutes walk for parents to cross the common from those facilities just mentioned above. However, it might be a little fun to pass by the large fountain. Overall, it's relaxing to visit Halifax Common. I would prefer to be there with my kids. Playground: There is a quiet large playground for children.. Restrooms: There is a concrete public washroom house close to the Cunard Street side. Dog-friendliness: It's really good to release your dog here. Just let it run and play games with you ! Picnic area: There is a wide common lawn.

A beautiful and very valuable space in the heart of the city. This is one of my favourite places in the city and makes me proud of Halifax every time I am here. This is a true gift to the residents of Halifax. It has baseball fields, cycling tracks, the ice skating and recreational Oval, free skate and roller skate/blade rentals, as well as tons of space for people to do their own activities on the commons area. I frequently see people playing lawn games here, reading books, flying kites, learning how to cycle or skate, and generally just enjoying the space.

Absolutely love the oval in winter. Favourite part of the day is the speed skaters taking in the ice.

I love my city and the Halifax Commons provides so many nostalgic fond memories. So much to do ! We have a great city.

This place is wonderful, lots of space for a picnic, baseball game, or any other activity you'd like to do with friends and famil.In the summers you can provide your id to rent bikes/trikes/scooters/skateboards/roller skates for free at Emera oval. In winters you can do the same for ice skating.

I walk through this area almost every day. The fields are great for laying, doing yoga, playing with your pup, or a game of baseball. This is an awesome community area that lets you relax and while still inside a city, enjoy a big green field. The oval is also great with being able to skate in the winter or bike in the summer, the concerts here are fantastic and there is even a skate park.

I went to Halifax Commons about a week ago late night. This place is huge and the water fountain looks beautiful at night with all the lights. It is a good place for a picnic with friends or just taking a stroll. There are also many places to sit down if you are tired by all the walking. Evenings is the best time to visit because you can see all the kids playing with their pets.

Great area for a walk, lots of space to throw a frisbee or sit in the grass. Sometimes there are friendly dogs playing fetch in the distance, if you're lucky you can say hi!
