With the brighter weather on the way, there’s never been a better time to start enjoying gentle, regular walks in your local green spaces. Our Couch to Park Walking Tracker is designed to help you build confidence, boost wellbeing, and explore the incredible variety of parks across the Bradford District — all at your own pace.

🌳 What is Couch to Park?

Couch to Park is a simple 6‑week walking plan that helps you gradually increase your activity levels. Whether you’re new to exercise, returning after a break, or just looking for a reason to explore the outdoors, this tracker supports you every step of the way.

Each week introduces easy, achievable walking goals that can be completed in any Bradford District park — from woodland trails to open parkland.
