Point Pleasant Park, Urban park in Halifax, Canada
This 75-hectare park contains forest trails, ocean views, and multiple pathways stretching along the southern tip of Halifax peninsula facing the Atlantic Ocean.
The park land, established in 1866, includes military fortifications from the 18th and 19th centuries that protected Halifax from naval attacks during colonial times.
Shakespeare by the Sea theatre company performs outdoor productions throughout summer months, transforming the park grounds into an open-air stage for audiences.

Tower Road parking area provides year-round vehicle access, while the lower parking lot gates near Point Pleasant Drive close at 10:00 PM every evening.
