Halifax Public Gardens

The Halifax Public Gardens ({{Coor dms|44|38|35|N|63|34|59|W|}}) are Victorian-style public gardens formally established in 1867 and located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, adjacent to Spring Garden Road and South Park Street. The gardens are open annually from May 1 until November 1. The style of the garden is fairly formal. People are not allowed on grassy areas, and it closes at night. The garden features a gazebo sometimes used for musical displays.

The gardens were badly damaged by Hurricane Juan on September 29, 2003. Many trees were destroyed, necessitating the early closure of the gardens, and some redesign. The gardens opened late the following season, on Canada Day of 2004.
