Saunders Park, Municipal park in Halifax, Canada
Saunders Park is a municipal recreation area in Halifax featuring sports courts, walking trails, playgrounds, and picnic areas spread across the grounds. The layout combines open spaces with defined activity zones for various recreational pursuits.
The site was originally home to Halifax Civic Airport, which operated from 1931 to 1941. The location transformed into an air force base when World War II began.
The park is named after Wing Commander Donald W. Saunders, a key figure in Halifax's aviation history. This name serves as a daily reminder of the community's deep connection to flight and aeronautical development.
The site has parking available near the main entrance, making it easy to access the facilities. Visitors should explore different areas to discover all available activities.
A commemorative marker documents the site's journey from Bluebell Farm to Halifax's first landing field with two grass runways. This historical marker tells the story of the remarkable transformation of the ground.
