At times, outdoor environments are not conducive to even the simplest form of exercise- walking.\u00c2\u00a0 Furthermore, as the &#8216;concrete jungle&#8217; develops, there is increasingly less green space for people to enjoy, and often, people do not know of resources available to them or how to get to them. \u00c2\u00a0P2P attempts to provide information not only about the parks, but to motivate people to travel to parks on foot by making the walk to the park an event in itself.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 P2P provides information on how to get to Jamaica Pond by walking different routes originating at different public transportation spots.\u00c2\u00a0It also provides information about the benefits of nature and about the neighborhoods through which people walk.\u00c2\u00a0 CCI is promoting these pathways with other groups.
