Planning your park visit

Does this directory cover Dartmouth and rural HRM too?

Source: Halifax Regional Municipality official park inventory

Are all listed sites developed parks?

Source: Halifax Regional Municipality official park inventory

Why are cemeteries included?

Source: Halifax Regional Municipality official park inventory

How do I find sports facilities?

Source: HRM park recreation features

Can I use the map point as a park entrance?

No. It is an approximate land centre. The source describes its park boundaries as representations of land parcels, not exact access routes.

Can my dog run off leash in any municipal park?

No. Dogs must stay on leash unless signs identify an off-leash area.

Source: Halifax park repairs, dog rules and adaptive equipment

How do I report damaged equipment or a hazard?

Call 311 or email contactus@311.halifax.ca. Give the park name and a clear description of the location and problem.

Source: Halifax park repairs, dog rules and adaptive equipment

Is adaptive outdoor equipment available to borrow?

Source: Halifax park repairs, dog rules and adaptive equipment

Does a sportsfield record prove that a field is open?

No. The map records an asset, not live conditions or a booking. Check field conditions and any closure signs before playing.

Source: HRM park recreation features

What does the recorded area mean?

The HECTARES value is the area supplied by HRM. It describes park land, not the size of a usable playground or sports field.
