Created Thursday 02 October 2025

Places where trains and walking could be inconvenient. Going in each direction, places are ordered from close to far.

• Many bikeable places connect to the Capital Pathway, the network of scenic bike routes.
• Many hiking areas further out in the city are part of the Greenbelt.
