The perfect place to go for nature lovers who live in the city. Aside from all the activities you can do in a regular park, this one hosts Shakespeare by the Sea plays in the summer. I went to see them and was taken away by the quality of the play, especially with no special effect aside from a few spotlights. The shows start when the sun is still up and ends when it is completely dark. It was an amazing and totally magical experience!

L'endroit parfait pour les amants de la nature qui résident en ville. À part les activités qu'on peut pratiquer dans tout autre parc, celui-ci est également l'hôte des pièces de théâtre de Shakespeare by the Sea. J'ai assisté à leurs présentations et j'ai été agréablement surprise de la qualité des performances, particulièrement compte tenu qu'il n'y avait aucun effect spécial à l'exception des projecteurs. Les spectacles commencent lorsqu'il fait encore soleil et conclut lorsqu'il fait complètement noir. C'était une expérience fabuleuse et magique!

Point Pleasant Park is a favourite amongst Halifax locals and visitors alike. It is each a cultural, natural and historic asset to our city. Point Pleasant Park is in the south end of the peninsula, and is beautifully surrounded by the ocean on all sides. Whether you are going there for a solo run, a picnic with friends, or on a date to see live theater by the sea, you can expect to see Haligonians use the park to gather, play and enjoy the outdoors. Hit by a Hurricane Juan in 2003, it is fascinating to watch the forest regrow and regenerate with native species, and if you're lucky, you can find the best blackberry patches in the summer (among other delicious edible plants)! Most Haligonians feel truly blessed to live by the Atlantic ocean, and Point Pleasant Park provides the perfect access point to breathe in the salty sea air and watch the boats go by. Fun fact! Halifax rents the site from the British Government for 1 shilling (about 10 cents) a year, with a 999-year lease.
