Although the park seems out of the way and desolate it is not. It's small and easy to walk around and it really is worth the trip when you go inside the Block house and chat with the staff person.
Good spot to stretch your legs, but there isn't a lot to see or do. If you have kids they probably won't find it terribly exciting.
I'll admit that being the interpreter here for the 2019 season gives me quite a bias toward this incredible historic site, but even if that weren't the case I'd still encourage everyone who can to come take a look. We have a large, beautiful, property with a lovely easy trail and plenty of information available on our panels, as well as an inside tour of the blockhouse and a first-hand look at its history during the summer months, which is available Tuesday to Saturday from 9-5 (come visit me! I would love to share this history with you!). The grounds and the first floor of the blockhouse are wheelchair accessible, but I would advise visitors in wheelchairs to use their own discretion when it comes to the trail. There are washrooms available at the West Hants Historical Society on King St during the same hours that the blockhouse is open, and a large parking lot to accomodate all of our lovely guests, buses included. We are happy to offer this experience to the public without charging admission, but donations are welcome! If you have any further questions, please feel free to add a question to this page and I will get back to you as best I can! Hope to see you soon!
Love the trail around the fort and to take my yoga mat and do some yoga and meditation on the hill. It's absolutely beautiful
Nice place for a walk around the trail or just set and take in the sights. Theres a nice view of the Avon River
