Summe Dockから、短い砂利の坂道を南東に数メートル登るとSir Sandford Fleming Memorial Towerに着きます。Dingle Roadを横断する際は注意してください。タワーは毎日午前8時から午後8時まで開いています。Sir Sandford Flemingは95エーカーの公園用地を公共に寄贈しました。彼は才能ある地図製作者であり測量士でした。タワーは通常4月1日から10月31日まで開いており、10階のてっぺんまでは無料で登ることができます。

Halifax Commonは、1749年に街が設立されて間もなく一般公開された、カナダで最も古い都市公園の一つです。今日、North Commonは広々とした芝生、スポーツフィールド、テニスコート、エメラ・オーバル、そして緑豊かなオープンスペースを囲む散策路で、その市民的な雰囲気を保っています。自然のトレイルというよりは街のループに近いですが、レクリエーション、歴史、そして近くのランドマークの組み合わせが、短い散策を価値あるものにしています。
