I often wished there was a cafe down there or something though - there are offices and lots of residential but no retail.
Will be interesting to see how the new ferry terminal and library connects to the rest of the park.

Agreed on all points. It can be quite busy on nice weekends, especially with families in the playground area. Lots of people walking, jogging, taking their dogs out for a stroll, etc., plus you can stretch out the walk or jog by continuing through to Shore Dr.
The new ferry terminal will surely attract amenities and expanded facilities to the area, I suspect.
Also, the
Leighton Dillman Park (in the Dartmouth Common) has always been a nice place to walkabout. It's been a while since I've been through there, but I recall that it was well kept with nice flowers and vegetation, and has great views of the harbour along the upper pathways. One of my favourite city parks, actually.
