The quest

Nepean Creek Park (south-east of centre, Ottawa) is larger than the postcard. One loop, one un-famous bench, two sounds that are not traffic.

Steps

  1. Enter Nepean Creek Park at a public gate.
  2. Walk until you have left the parking lot behind. Sit on one bench.
  3. Name two non-traffic sounds. Leave by the same gate.

Why this is on the board

Parks like Nepean Creek Park (south-east of centre, Ottawa) are how Ottawa was laid out for people who do not have a cottage. One loop, one bench, two sounds — the city used as it was meant to be used.

Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
