Connection of multiple trails in and around the Rattendale Park.
Starting with a small step down / drop from the sidewalk it dives into the small Rattendale forest for a little up-and-down and around some trees on the right side of the park. Exit the forest via a mellow down slope with some roots, pass a bridge over the old moat, cross a road, into the forest beyond. This leads into a small pump-track-like section winding through the trees, continuing into more straight and flat paths around a few sections of the woods, and ending up on the main concrete walkway. Turn left onto the walkway, and shortly after turn right into the woods, on the edge of the water. This will wind through some paths between the trees and around some of the ponds, ending up at the hill/bridge next to the playground. Go down, following the main walkway again, but get off of it to the right just before the walkway turns into a walkbridge, and follow parallel to it. Down a moderate slope directly into a quite narrow bridge, followed by a winding pump-track-like section through the woods, crossing through a small stream before ending up on the main walkway again. Follow the walkway towards the street for a short bit, then turn left down a slight slope, onto a bridge, and into the Rattendale park again. Turn right after the bridge, and continue on that side around the park until you reach the main entrance of the park, or continue a little bit to connect immediately to the beginning of the trail and make a loop.
Beware : mixed use, pedestrians can be everywhere
