This
park
is
in
one
of
the
most
important
places
in
Halifax.
Other
than
the
spectacular
location
and
views,
the
feature
most
worthy
of
note
about
these
trails
is
the
history
of
the
area.
This
area
used
to
be
a
thriving
community
of
African
Nova
Scotians
until
they
were
all
forced
off
their
land
to
make
room
for
Halifax
“development”.
It
is
heartbreaking
to
walk
around
on
these
trails
because
you
can
get
glimpses
of
where
they
lived,
and
see
some
remnants
of
past
building
in
the
park.
There
are
several
very
beautiful
areas
where
lilac
trees
and
other
beautiful
blooming
bushes
and
trees
are
planted,
and
I
heard
that
they
were
planted
by
people
who
lived
here
when
it
was
their
property.
I
can
only
think
that
if
someone
put
all
that
effort
into
developing
their
property,
they
obviously
loved
it,
and
they
should
have
been
able
to
stay.
Just
depressing.
The
park
today
is
a
stunning
memorial
to
that,
although
I
have
to
admit,
I
would
be
happy
to
lose
the
park
in
favour
of
families
getting
their
property
back.
The
trails
here
are
amazing
and
the
park
itself
is
beautiful,
and
a
bit
on
the
wild
side
as
well.
By
the
way,
at
least
some
of
the
photos
people
have
posted
for
these
trails
are
actually
for
Africville
Park,
not
the
trails
on
Africville
Lookoff
Park,
which
is
a
different
place.
