Location: Palmer and Cunningham in Alta Vista near Kilborn
https://www.strava.com/segments/27277696


​I typically enter Cunningham Park off of Palmer Avenue. This tiny little park is located in the heart of Alta Vista near Grasshopper Hill Park. At 400m in length this is a super short segment, and it's one of those little known stretches of dirt path that are so fun to ride on. I like to add it on to shorter rides that take in the woods near Pleasant Park and the Greenspace near Kilborn and the Heron Corridor. 
Good to know that this is an actual park and not people's backyard. Also good to know people treat it like their backyard so it's another area where it's fun to ride through but good to keep it slow to avoid a collision. Also at the tail end of the section it climbs a little bit and there are some tree roots to contend with. So don't ride it to get the KOM, ride it because it's there.
