walking paths

Routes for strolling

Walking paths are designated routes for pedestrians, typically through parks, nature areas, or urban spaces.

The term emphasizes leisurely movement rather than hiking or commuting: The neighborhood has several walking paths along the river.

Walking paths may be paved or natural surfaces, distinct from sidewalks in that they're recreational rather than utilitarian.
