Working with Plymotion and as part of Plymouth Love Parks, the team have put together a selection of walking routes taking you to parks and local greenspaces in different areas.

These maps are to help you follow safe, accessible routes from your neighbourhood to a selection of parks and greenspaces. There are so many you may not even know were there.

Below is a list of the areas we have currently mapped which you can download and use to explore and find a hidden gem in your neighburhood you haven't been to yet.
