Less familiar way to meet worker in park (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stranger

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'less familiar' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'way to meet worker in park' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'st'.
'to meet' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'worker in park' becomes 'ranger' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'st'+'ranger'='STRANGER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stranger that I've seen before include "Less familiar" , "'Weirder, odder (8)'" , "Rent rags (anag)" , "Person one doesn't know" , "Person one is not acquainted with" .)
