Walking
Woburn is a map of the City of Woburn that we have labeled out in
quater mile (.25) increments. Based on the typical walking speed of the average
adult (3 mph) each .25 mile is about a 5 minute walk, or a 20 minute mile walk.
The purpose of this map is to get you out and walking. By labeling the map in
increments you may find out that some of your favorite spots are closer than you
may think. Instead of driving there take a nice walk!
