Gorsebrook Park

Gorsebrook Park, Urban park in South End Halifax, Canada.

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 the hay field of Gorsebrook, the estate Enos Collins bought in 1824 and named after John Tremaine's earlier property. The estate was split in 1894; by 1900 the northern portion was rented to the Gorsebrook Golf Club for a 9-hole course, which became a community course when Ashburn Golf Club opened in 1922 and was expanded to 18 holes in 1928. After Cartaret Collins died in 1941 the sell-off began, and in the late 1940s Halifax bought the remaining north lands and divided them into baseball diamonds.

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.

Late in the Second World War the Royal Canadian Air Force bought the northeast portion of the old estate and built RCAF Base Gorsebrook there; by 1953 it had grown into a full air force residence. The base is gone, but its footprint lies under the park's sports grounds.
