Community Details:

Bedford is a suburban community of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It was an independent town from 1980 to 1996.

Bedford is on the northwestern end of Bedford Basin, an extension of the Halifax Harbour, which ends just before Nova Scotia Highway 102 and the Bedford Bypass, next to Lower Sackville.

There is a popular walkway along much of the Bedford Basin waterfront that begins at DeWolf Park and continues as the Bedford-Sackville Connector Greenway, a crushed gravel-covered trail that meanders along the Sackville River.

There is an outdoor 25m pool and smaller splash pool located at the Lions Park on Shore Drive. In the summer there are numerous lakes suitable for swimming. The topography of the area limits the possible locations for soccer and football fields. The community is currently home to six ice surfaces. Bedford is a well-established sailing community and is home to the Bedford Basin Yacht Club and Marina.
