The Halifax Public Gardens is located in the downtown core and offers a great opportunity to relax, enjoy some great music and take some fantastic photos.

Very nicely done in a relatively small space (as public gardens go). I liked this better than the gardens in Glasgow (Scotland), which were a little larger, but, in my opinion, not as well done.
