Just below Victoria Rd and Woodland Ave is the beginnings of the access to the park that goes behind the old school (now a training centre for the police). There are tennis courts, and the path runs beside the courts. It takes you down to a running stream, lots of grassy areas, great to walk around for a very short 30 min walk from the airbnb.
