ORIENTEERING MAP OF SHOLOM PARK
Orienteering is an outdoor activity that combines navigation, exploration, and problem-solving. Using a map and your surroundings, participants navigate between a series of marked locations called control points throughout the park. It’s a fun and engaging way to experience the landscape while sharpening observation and navigation skills.
This orienteering course allows visitors to explore Sholom Park from a new perspective while enjoying the beauty of its trails, gardens, and natural spaces.
HOW ORIENTEERING WORKS
Orienteering is a navigation activity that challenges participants to find specific locations using a map and their surroundings. The map displays a series of numbered circles known as control points, each representing a location somewhere within the park. Using the map as a guide, participants navigate through trails, terrain features, and landmarks to locate each point.
Rather than following a single marked path, participants use observation and decision-making to determine the best route between locations. This may involve following established trails, identifying changes in elevation, recognizing natural features, or using nearby landmarks to confirm direction.
Orienteering can be approached at any pace. Some participants enjoy moving quickly between control points as a challenge, while others prefer a slower experience that focuses on exploration and observation. The activity encourages visitors to engage with the landscape, develop navigation skills, and experience the park from a new perspective.
Whether you are new to orienteering or simply looking for a different way to explore Sholom Park, the course offers an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors while discovering places you might otherwise pass by.
