Parks & Nature
This is a nice, easy trail that's close by. Kids might get lucky and find some newts or frogs in the creeks and ponds depending on the water levels. There are a few inclines with benches along the way but the path is well kept up and easy to traverse for all ages whether walking, running or biking the trail. It's a great way to experience the coastal rainforest up close and personal, rain or shine - and free! Dogs are ok on leashes only.
