Rockcliffe Park - Part 1 Summer Orienteering

Map: Rockliffe Park

Meet Director: Andrew Cornett Controller: Cathy Bakker

Come out this Tuesday, July 20th, for a chance to run on a brand new sprint map of Rockcliffe Park! The Rockcliffe Park terrain is fairly hilly, offers a nice mix of forest, meadow and lawn, and features a dense trail network. The shorter course will be ~2.3km long with 20 controls, while the longer course will be ~3.7km with 28 controls. The shorter course is safer for young children as it does not involve crossing the Rockcliffe Parkway. The long course crosses the Parkway twice at a mandatory crossing point. Both courses involve crossing the Rockcliffe Driveway (where vehicles travel in one direction and the speed limit is 20km/hr). Please check both ways for traffic before crossing all roads! Parking is available at the large lot accessible from the Rockcliffe Driveway (latitude = 45.4480, longitude = -75.691702). See the map below.
