Fort Needham Memorial Park
Re-opened on December 6, 2017, the Fort Needham Memorial Park commemorates the 1917 Halifax Explosion. When two ships collided in the harbour, this maritime disaster generated the largest man-made explosion prior to the Atomic Age. The project entails memorial and interpretive elements to better present the Explosion story to residents and visitors, and park upgrades to prepare the site for the anniversary event.
