Dog parks in Halifax

Crystal Crescent Beach Located at East and West Pennet benches, tables, trees, parking, phones, restrooms, water; comments = the beach is located approximately 25 minutes from Halifax, near a small fishing village named Sambro. Beautiful scenery, many trails, excellent for people/dogs what enjoy hiking. We've never taken the dog off-leash during the crowded summer, but late summer/fall we enjoy the trails alot. Owners must clean up after their dogs. Many off-leash areas in the higher trails/grass areas.

Rainbow Haven Beach located on Bissett Road in Dartmouth, NS. Hours of operation - 7 am to dusk Park has parking. The beach is open during the fall/winter/early spring and many people take their dogs there. There's plenty of room for the dogs to run on the beach and play in the water. The only downside is that you can't use the facilities in the summer (obviously due to beach-goers!)
