Trail time 50~ish minutes walking up and back down. Decent views looking back once you're at the top. Mix of gravel, stairs and asphalt with a few cross walks. Lots of park space along the way, tennis and basketball courts, soccer pitch, playgrounds and lots of green-space. Considering it's not that far from the urban sprawl of the city, it's not a bad little hike and there are some trees along the way too. No similarities to the Grouse Grind aside from the technical fact of climbing some stairs, albeit nowhere near as steep as the Grind :p
