Park Lane (mall)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Park Lane is a shopping mall in Halifax. It is located on Spring Garden Road.
[edit] History
Park Lane Mall was built in the late 1980's as a new Up-scale mall in downtown Halifax. However, the mall was not as popular as it was intended for and low-end stores such as Ardenes began opening up. The main attraction became the Famous Players movie theatre built in the bottom floor of the mall by the food court. The theatre was later bought by Empire Theatres and refurbished to include stadium seating.
