Mainland Common

Absolutely beautiful walking trail through the woods that my dog and I love to stroll down after he gets a chance to trot around in the small dog park.

Its really muddy. People don't tend to pick up after their dogs.

Small dog off leash park is great my little one loves it!!!

Moving to Halifax from a much smaller town, with a newly adopted rescue, I was very nervous about finding somewhere safe where he wouldn’t be reactive and be able to have fun and socialize. Well this park ticks EVERY single box. He has made soooo many friends, stopped barking at men there by themselves (previous trauma) and has his own little doggy gang. Great groups of people, and if you go consistently at the same time you’ll make friends too! But you only know each other’s dogs names... such is the way of the dog park.

It was a great place to walk. I don't have a dog, but it was wonderful just to go in and play with the pups in such a wide open space. The walk was nice through the woods too

A wonderful place to hang out with the pups. Fully fenced in with forested area and a large gravel upper level and agility course! Bags provided and separate small dog section. The only downside is when people bring balls/toys expecting owners to spend their peaceful time chasing their own dog around the whole time if it gets taken, which needs to be expected it will. It is very different when you throw ball one on one vs when you bring it to the park where there are lots of other dogs around. I've seen dogs get aggressive with ball possession, too, so if you come, please consider not bringing toys or bring less expensive balls you are willing to give up.

The path is wide enough for social distancing, lots of garbage cans along the trail and loads of wildlife to see.

Very nice walk for family and dogs.Paths are somewhat narrow in some areas (compared to other trails), so do not expect a full walk holding hands ;-)

Such a great space to take your furry friend. There is a small dog area and a big dog area, each fully fenced in.Cons: Issues with owners picking up after their dogs. There is zero winter maintenance so it gets very icy. Lastly, when everything thaws or it rains there isn't a run off system, so it gets very mucky as well.
