wooden walkways

Planked paths outdoors

Wooden walkways are paths or passages constructed from timber planks, typically elevated above ground level.

They appear in parks, wetlands, and coastal areas where the terrain is uneven, fragile, or prone to flooding: A wooden walkway wound through the marsh.

Boardwalks along beaches are a familiar example.

The phrase emphasizes the material, distinguishing these structures from concrete or metal alternatives.
