Why this is on the board
Parks like Clarke Memorial Centre (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.
