Gorsebrook Park

Gorsebrook Park is a 19-acre green space in South End Halifax with multiple sports facilities. It contains baseball diamonds, soccer fields, tennis courts, and basketball areas for various recreational activities.

The land was originally part of the Gorsebrook Estate owned by Enos Collins starting in 1824. It later functioned as a golf club before being converted to its present public park use in the 1940s.

The park functions as a meeting place for the neighborhood where people of all ages gather for leisure and sports. The surrounding schools bring families regularly to the area for activities and recreation.

The park is easily reached by Halifax Transit buses and stays open for visitors year-round. All athletic facilities are available for public use, making it accessible to those with different activity preferences.

During World War II, a Royal Canadian Air Force base was located in the northeast section of the grounds. This military past is largely unnoticed by visitors today, yet it shaped the land's transformation into a recreational space.
