Let the shoulders drop every kilometre. Speed is not the point — presence is.
Predominantly engineered boardwalk and compacted forest trail with a few brief unpaved sections. Off-road strollers and adaptive trail chairs manage well; standard road wheelchairs can complete the paved core.

- ShadeFull canopy for the entire loop
- Rest pointsBoardwalk overlooks and canopy platforms — a stillness that isn't the city
Because a rainforest in the middle of a city, with monkeys and monitor lizards moving as if nothing had ever changed, is the city admitting it is still forest.
