Swissair Flight 111 Memorial

Reviewed By MACIMI - West Kelowna, Canada

A very moving memorial to a tragic event. There is a large parking area with a pleasant walkway to the memorial. An information board is located in the parking area giving all the details you need to know. The memorial is simple and tasteful, located on a beautiful shelf of rock, and the views out to sea and to Peggy's Cove are magnificent. Its worthwhile to ponder on the event and how short life can be for some. Well worth the stop.

Sailor's Salute statue

Reviewed By MarlaToronto

More than 65 years ago my father, a WWII vet, was stationed in Halifax. He not returned since but remembered this statue and asked me to see if it is still standing ...... a proud Canadian sailor!

Halifax Explosion Memorial Bell Tower

Reviewed By ManitobaNic

Peaceful location for the park with some wonderful trees growing. This monument included lots of information including what the ships carried that caused the enormous explosion and also pieces of the ship were also used when creating this memorial. A wonderful poem is etched into metal with the sunlight shining through. Parking available. The side streets are very hilly to drive on. Go in the evening when the park is quiet and after rush hour. Some teens were smoking behind the memorial, so not very respectful of this tragic event. A must to visit and its free. Easy to find, just program it in your GPS.
