My Review

Rating: 5/5
Family friendly: YES
Cost: FREE
Track difficulty: EASY
Duration: 45 minutes

Very nice track right by the Hamilton Zoo. It's very flat with very little incline. The thing I like about this track is that it's tranquil, quite, and it can easily make you feel relaxed. The views of nature is very nice and the views at the lake is too. Well worth a look.
