Explore walks with new tool

DISCOVERING great new walks and public spaces across the State has never been easier with the launch of a new online tool to connect people to iconic locations, including parks, beaches, libraries, museums and exciting high streets.

The free Walks Near Me interactive digital map has thousands of opportunities to discover great public spaces across the State and create bespoke walking itineraries to visit them.
The tool brings together spatial data into a single digital tool which can be found on the nsw.gov.au website and is optimised for mobile phone use.
People can create personalised walks, then save and share their favourites with their friends and family.
The new tool is home to more than 800 walks and offers a range of resources, including sharing the stories and history of a park or region, discovering events, and informing people about the amenities and experiences available.
The Walks Near Me digital map will be updated regularly on points of interest and route options.
Minister for Customer Service and Bankstown MP, Jihad Dib says there are so many advantages to enjoying a good walk and a tool like this makes it easier than ever for people to get outside, get active and get the most out of this beautiful State we live in.
“Whether you want to explore parts of the State you’ve never seen before or discover secret spots in your own neighbourhood, Walks Near Me brings together information from parks, gardens, landmarks and places of interest into a single digital tool to help plan your next adventure with just a few taps,” he said.
“This is a wonderful example of how digital technology can make our everyday lives a little easier and I look forward to delivering more digital solutions like this one, to help improve our health and happiness.”
The Walks Near Me interactive tool is available at nsw.gov.au.
