Caber Park mixes bushland with tracks that double as running routes. Parts of the track climb steeply without barricades, so young children need an adult close by there. The park's toilets are open to walkers, and parking is free in its lot and along the street. Dogs are allowed, but the park lists no off-leash area. Its tracks suit a walk of your own length, since no distance is given, so it's the pick for a bush setting over a timed loop.

How we picked
The picks weigh track length, a loop, paved surfaces, toilets, parking and dog access. Where a park's page is silent on one of these, the row leaves it blank rather than filling it in. A walk with too little detail stays listed in the table without being picked, and a walk on a shared loop is described by its own park's page only.
