Planning Notes

💡

Use the promenade as the route between stops rather than another attraction to finish. Plan a one-way outing with the free park shuttle when retracing the full distance would be too much.

Share the route with walkers, runners, bikes, scooters, and skaters
Ride slowly around busy entrances and gathering areas
The free shuttle connects the eastern promenade with major park stops
