The quest

Walk a single loop of Elbow Islands Park. Sit until you can name two non-traffic sounds, then leave by the same gate.

Steps

  1. Enter Elbow Islands 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 Elbow Islands Park (north of centre, Calgary) are how Calgary 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.
