The Halifax Public Gardens are Victorian-era gardens, formally established in 1867, the year of Canadian Confederation. They lie near the Spring Garden Road shopping district and were named a National Historic Site in 1984, making them one of the city's finest places to rest and a favourite for wedding photos. The gardens cover 16 acres, bounded by Spring Garden Road, South Park, Summer and Sackville streets. The layout follows the formal Victorian style, with geometric paths and flower beds. A superintendent oversaw the addition of the bandstand, fountains, statues and ornate wrought iron gates. They hold three fountains, two stone bridges, three ponds, one large and two small, plus broad flower beds and white statues. The handsome bandstand with its red roof stands among the paths and hosts free concerts on summer Sunday afternoons. In autumn the trees by the pond turn strong oranges and reds. They are 900 m in a straight line from central Halifax and 600 m from the Citadel. They open year-round, conditions permitting. Keep to the paths and respect wedding parties taking photos at weekends. The finest time is from late spring to early autumn, when the flowers are at their peak.
