The quest

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

Steps

  1. Enter Newcastle Street 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 Newcastle Street Park (on Newcastle Street, east of centre, Halifax) are how Halifax 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.
