Why this is on the board
Parks like Merv Sullivan Park (on Novalea Drive, north of centre, Halifax) are how Halifax was laid out for people who do not have a cottage. One loop, one bench, two sounds — the city used as it was meant to be used.
Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
