Walk the public path along the harbour and mud flats, crossing the bridge to Resthaven Island. Stopping to discuss the history, showing old pictures, sharing information within the group. Observing the large trees, lookouts and wildlife.
We will start at Sidney All Care Residence and head to the Lochside Trail, down the new chip trail to the Calvin Ave entrance to Rathdown Park, east through the pedstrian cutthrough near Cleveland Ave, winding down to Resthaven Rd and ending at Fish O' Chips (stay for refreshment with the group optional).
The walk will be looking at several types of park and pedestrian amenities found in the north part of Sidney, which connect us through our neighborhood in different ways; Sidney's bounded geography and increasing population means we can't increase the amount of park space set aside, but we can look for the potentials we can see to creatively use and increase greenery, natural habitats and human-nature interaction in the spaces we already have.
