You voted for the Halifax Public Gardens to be the gold winner of the Best Public Space category this year—a decision that is sure to make a lot of sense to those who have visited the park, centrally located between Spring Garden Road and Summer Street. Whether it’s walking along to smell the dozens of flowers planted near the paths, listening to a jazz band in the summertime or attempting to catch a glance of the elusive turtles, the Halifax Public Gardens are always worth the trip. Its location also allows for patrons to visit some of the nearby local businesses while they're out and about.
