Sackville Landing

Recapitalization Project

Halifax Regional Municipality and Waterfront Development are partnering to enhance Sackville Landing on the Halifax waterfront. Located between Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and Summit Place, Sackville Landing is a popular gathering and event space.

Enhancements to the area support the work outlined in HRM’s Regional Plan and HRMbyDesign

Project highlights include:

• Creation of a timber boardwalk at the water’s edge and refurbishment of “The Wave”
   
• Enhanced landscape and water views
   
• Reconfiguration of the landscaped features to help make the area more accessible and useable for the public

Public access to the boardwalk and nearby locations will be maintained. Temporary public walkway detours will be in place from time-to-time. The Visitor Information Centre is open for business. The children's playground will be closed temporarily during Phase 1 of the project (April 18-28) for safety.

The full project is expected to be substantially complete by the end of June, 2012.

HRM and Waterfront Development are proud to partner on this project to improve Sackville Landing. Enhancements to the area support the work outlined in HRM’s Regional Plan and HRMbyDesign, which include maintaining and improving pedestrian linkages among downtown streets, parks, public spaces, and the water's edge.

This partnership also aligns with Waterfront Development’s commitment to provide public access to the water’s edge.

Please note: The artisans will be back after the completion of the recapitalization. They will move temporarily to Nathan Green Square. Vending season starts on May 1, 2012.
