Saunders Park, Municipal park in Halifax, Canada
Saunders Park extends across an urban area with modern sports facilities, walking paths, playgrounds, and recreational spaces for community activities.
The park occupies the former site of Halifax Civic Airport, which operated from 1931 to 1941 before transforming into an army base during World War II.
The park bears the name of Wing Commander Donald W. Saunders, who managed Halifax Municipal Airport and contributed to local aviation development.
Visitors can access multiple sports courts, picnic areas, and recreational facilities throughout the park, with parking available near the main entrance.
A commemorative plaque within the park documents the transformation from Bluebell Farm to Halifax's first aerodrome with two grass airstrips.
