The Halifax Public Gardens, found at the corner of South Park Street and Spring Garden road, are the oldest formal Victorian gardens in North America. Open from sunrise until sunset from May to November, this is a great place to experience if you are visiting this city.

Additional perks of this locale are the flowers from regions all around the world and the gravel paths that wind throughout the entire area. Also, there is a gazebo here, built for Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee, which stands as an amazing site for all to see. The Public Gardens feature over 16 acres of trees, flower beds, fountains, along with a bandstand, a duck pond and concession area.
