Why this is on the board
Parks like Vimy Ridge Memorial Park (on Preston Avenue, west of centre, Winnipeg) are how Winnipeg 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.
