The quest

Dominion Arboretum (east of centre, Ottawa) is larger than the postcard. One loop, one un-famous bench, two sounds that are not traffic.

Steps

  1. Enter Dominion Arboretum 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 Dominion Arboretum (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.
