Start at Wildwood Park for the Arts. Wander the botanical gardens and pavilions while the light is still bright enough to see the details of the landscape and architecture. There is no food or drink available on-site, so use this time to explore the grounds and the 625-seat theatre complex before the sun dips.

Walk 50 minutes to Boyle Park. This large urban park offers open spaces and a clear view toward the west-southwest. Find a spot on the grass or a bench to settle in for the final countdown. The park is open, and the walk from Wildwood is a steady trek across the city.
17:21
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light from 16:43 will have already washed over the scene, but the final descent of the sun at 17:21 provides a crisp, warm end to the day. Stay for the colors to fade into twilight.
18:06
Return to Wildwood Park for the Arts as the evening sets in. The park’s lights and the quiet atmosphere of the gardens offer a peaceful end to the outing. The theatre complex is a striking structure against the darkening sky, providing a calm conclusion to your walk.
