Olympic Forest Park
Lonely Planet review for Olympic Forest Park
The humungous 680-hectare grassy expanse goes on forever so if you're looking for a casual stroll, stick to parks in the centre of town. In summer you can hop on a boat across the lake, which seethes with fat and well-fed fish, hike along brick and concrete paths or simply make a break for the hills. Considering the epic scale of the park, it's a great way to shed a kilo or two but you may end up flagging down a passing electric buggy (Y20; 9am to 5pm) when your shuddering legs start folding at the knees.
