“Nice Hike for the local”
If you don't mind a bit of hiking and have time to kill, this is the best place as it's within walking distance from the centre of action.

“Black Mountain nature park”
An excellent place to walk in among native plants and a very good view over the city of Canberra. A reasonable level of fitness is needed to walk the slopes but the effort is worthwhile.
