To encourage members of our community to consider walking instead of driving, when possible, BWFH's Community Health and Wellness Department has created easy-to-follow walking maps depicting routes and distances to various locations in Hyde Park, Jamaica Plain, Roslindale and West Roxbury. These printable maps are available in English (first page of each PDF) and Spanish (second page of each PDF).
