As of right now (beginning 2017) this is as easy as it gets on the westside of Parklands. This route is a good way to start off before taking on more of the blue trails.

By the end of this year there will be new green trails starting from the car park allowing novice/beginner riders better access to the trail network and allowing smoother progression to the more demanding trails.
