If you want a walk in the woods without leaving town, consider the Boise du Quai, a small, forested, riverside park that's perfect for a quiet stroll. The welcome center for the forest is Habitat 07, which sounds like a sci-fi novella and about lives up to said name: it's a cool combination of rustic and green-inspired architecture, all warm wood colors, big windows and natural light.
