Southern Ridges or MacRitchie for a morning walk?
Pick the Southern Ridges for a morning walk with city views, and MacRitchie for forest shade and a reservoir loop. We'd take the Southern Ridges across Henderson Waves when you want views, and MacRitchie on a cooler day. Check each park's page for closed sections before you set out.
