    It’s a cute, little spot close to the ocean with great views of boats, ducks and seagulls on the water. Parking is minimal and there’s not enough seating at times, but it’s a really good place to enjoy the view, especially when you have a cup of tea or coffee.

    Beautiful little spot to bring your family for a picnic or simply enjoy the view while drinking a coffee. Parking is pretty minimal and there is not a ton of seating. The garbage can get out of hand but a quick call to the city and it gets cleaned up quickly.

    I nice place for a quick walk or rest by the Northweat Arm. Watch the boats. Feed some birds. If you are brave put your feet in the water.

  • 4/5 Kim K. 7 months ago on Google
    Great place to watch the sun rise. It was busy, especially on nice days. It does have a small parking lot.

  • 5/5 Garima T. 7 months ago on Google
    It's a peaceful place for anyone who wants to get out close to the water. It's not overcrowded, people come here for fishing sometimes or just to relax. Located in the center of the city. Must visit ❀️

  • 5/5 Clarissa C. 8 months ago on Google
    Sometimes it's not easy finding parking, but it's absolutely gorgeous there. The ducks, the view of the sail boats, people kayaking or fishing. Just goes to show that it's not hard to find something to do in halifax for fun, day or night!

    Totally loved it..! You can reach to the place by your own vehicle or by using public transport. Very peaceful and soothing place. The lake will give you some kind of positive vibes.

  • 5/5 Aldore C. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place to sit, read a book and sip some coffee. Beautiful view and never too busy so even if it is off Quinpool, it is still a peaceful spot!

  • 5/5 Carrie G. 3 years ago on Google
    Very beautiful place for chilling. The ocean was so gorgeous and I felt I could stay here forever! The space wasn’t big but good enough for taking a break from the busy time.

  • 5/5 Liz M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot to launch a kayak, canoe or sup - decent amount of parking depending on time of day. Nice bench out on the point to watch the sunrise.

  • 4/5 Iain M. 1 year ago on Google
    Parking is a little crowded during summer months. Asian guys will be fishing for squid. Free dock for hand boat launches. Access to your anchored boat.

    Windy most of the times but a beautiful place with an open view of the Northwest Arm and Rotary.

  • 5/5 Fred P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot to relax, enjoy the scenery, feed the ducks and watch kayaker and paddle boaters.

    Really cute small park! Very relaxing!

  • 5/5 Courtney R. 2 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite places to go and relax and just people watch. If you like boats and nature this is the place to be.

  • 5/5 Vidyaprasad A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place near Armdale rotary to enjoy the views of the Atlantic ocean touching the land. Can take a short walk and find people fishing for Mackerel here. Parking available for about 10 cars.
