The quest

50 minutes in Acorn Park Trail (north-west of centre, Edmonton): leave the parking lot behind, pick a bench, listen.

Steps

  1. Enter Acorn Park Trail 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 Acorn Park Trail (north-west of centre, Edmonton) are how Edmonton 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.
