Manor Park is a neighbourhood of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. The main entrance to the neighbourhood is from the east on Portland Street (Route 207). A secondary entrance, from the west, is by way of Celtic Drive, rising from the low-lying area around Lake Banook.

Within this neighbourhood is Brownlow Park, one of Dartmouth's local parks. The park, named after Dan Brownlow, a former Mayor of Dartmouth, includes two tennis courts, a basketball court, a soccer field, a children's playground, and a pathway for joggers. The area also abuts Oathill Lake, which is surrounded by a wooded area with a walking trail. This lake is enjoyed by many including fishermen and swimmers.

The Manor Park neighbourhood is served by a Halifax Transit route, the 62 Grahams Grove, which connects the Penhorn Terminal and the Bridge Termonal via Downtown Dartmouth and the Alderney Gate ferry terminal.[2]
