promenade
Formal public walk
A promenade is a leisurely walk taken in a public place, often for display or socializing, or the paved walkway where such strolling occurs—typically along a waterfront or through a park: the boardwalk promenade.
In square dancing, a promenade is a figure where couples walk around the floor together.
The verb means to take such a walk: They promenaded along the esplanade.
A promenade deck on a ship is designed for passengers to stroll.
