Early Riser's Garden & Park Ramble
A slightly longer route through a park and two teaching gardens, best saved for the coolest part of the day.
If you can go out first thing before the heat builds, walk the paths at Andrews Park, then continue on to the Garden of Chemistry, and cap it off at the Demonstration and Teaching Garden a bit further out. It's a nature-forward, low-intensity route, but given the advisory this is strictly a dawn-or-dusk plan — not a midday one.
