More walking maps are being created for neighborhoods throughout the city to add more physical activity to everyday life – so please check back for more maps. 

Map Your Neighborhood...
If you do not see a map for your neighborhood and want to help create one, call the Healthy Places Program at 645-5318 or Health@columbus.gov

Walking in your neighborhood has many benefits:

  • More physical activity.
  • Get to know your neighbors.
  • More people outside means more “eyes on the street” or people watching the neighborhood.
  • Discover the places within walking distance of your home.  Walking instead of driving to these places adds physical activity in your daily routine, creates less traffic and conserves gas.

Crossing lightWalking Safety

When walking in your neighborhood, follow these safety tips from Safe Communities:

  • Know your route before you leave. 
  • Use sidewalks. If you must walk on a route without a sidewalk, walk facing traffic.
  • Use crosswalks. Even if it takes you a few extra minutes, walk to the closest crosswalk. Be sure that oncoming traffic is going to stop before you begin to cross. 
  • Never cross mid-block.
  • Make yourself visible!  You are more likely to get hit if a driver can’t see you.  At night, make yourself visible by wearing light and/or reflective clothing. 
  • Don’t surprise drivers by coming out into the road from behind objects such as parked cars.
  • Alcohol and drugs impair your ability to walk safely. 
  • Be aware of your surroundings.  You have as much responsibility as the drivers do.
  • Be a good role model.  Teach your children safe guidelines for walking and follow them yourself.
