Be Active -Auckland City Council's Be Active maps detail the location of parks, community facilities and public transport links.

Aucklanders can now discover simple, cheap and effective ways to get moving in their neighbourhoods.

Auckland City Council's Be Active maps detail the location of parks, community facilities and public transport links. They also give route suggestions for walking and cycling in Ellerslie, Newmarket, Panmure, Mt Albert, Onehunga, Otahuhu and Avondale. Be Active maps can help you work out the best way to travel to your local school, the shops or work and to be active, fit and healthy while you get there.

Each map has routes marked for you to walk or cycle as well as a scale to help you determine how many calories you burn on each walk.

Steps and steep hills on the routes are marked out so you can work your way up from the easier routes to the harder and steeper climbs or rides.
