Shannon Park sits on the eastern shore of Halifax Harbour in the community of Dartmouth. The site was originally built in the 1950s as housing for families of Royal Canadian Navy personnel stationed in Halifax. The military community closed in 2004, and the buildings were later removed. Today the waterfront area is being redeveloped into a new neighbourhood with parks, trails, and housing, while viewpoints such as the Canada 150 Trail lookout provide sweeping views across the harbour toward Halifax.
