Charlie likes Hemlock Ravine Park out in Bedford!
|
Hemlock Ravine is directly off the Bedford Highway and has a lot of nice trails. It is very much like the Duck Pond/Dingle area in Spryfield.
There is a page dedicated to it on the HRM's website at http://www.halifax.ca/RealPropertyPlanning/OLPS/olps_HemlockRavine.html
It's one of the 5 pilot off-leash parks newly designated by the city. It's a great place for walking the dogs as a sniff and pass walk with lots of nature and trees and things to pee on.
The trails can be confusing though. I got totally lost when I was
there, but I met a very nice lady named Amy who helped me and I have
actually stayed in contact with her since so it turned out to be a very
nice trip. It is a bit more hilly than my middle-aged body could take,
especially when I got lost. There is houses all around the park so you
have to keep your eyes open and on the dogs so that they don't end up on
a side street or someone's back yard!
I would say the neighborhood resident use this park a lot. One thing I did notice was the absolute absence of dog poop on the ground. This is the only place in the whole of the HRM where I never saw even one pile! This park is great for walking and enjoying nature. It's mostly woods with lots of uneven terrain on the side of the paths so the dogs can have lots of stuff to smell and dig in

Charlie loves Halifax has been on the internet since May of 2002 and has had over 1,000,000 hits from local dog lovers since then. It is a site maintained completely and solely by one (1) person and her dogs completely and utterly for her own pleasure and her personal beliefs about how she would like the Halifax Regional Municipality to become more dog friendly, and what she believes to be a lovely view of what the world is, and how what it can become. If you agree with her view of this dog-centric world - that is super-fant-abulous. If you don't - that is too bad, but that is your opinion - just as everything on this website is - the opinion and beliefs of one person. If you believe them to be anything more than that - you have been mis-informed and have given me an importance anyone would lust after, but I certainly do not covet. Thanks for reading....
