156: "JUST DON'T GO FOR A WALK"

Maffeo Sutton Park: the only safe park in this part of Nanaimo

I asked the receptionist where I could go for a walk near the hotel besides Maffeo Sutton Park, which is the one I always go to. She listed a bunch of parks and said, "...but it's not safe" after every option. "You can take a taxi to Westwood Lake and walk around there. But I would not recommend going to the other parks," she said. So I ended up not going for a walk at all.
