Ballarat North Neighbourhood House has partnered with Ballarat City Council to produce a list of walks that take in the suburb’s heritage.
The program is designed to get people exercising for their health, through a range of medium and short walking routes.
Similar programs already operate in Sebastopol and Wendouree.
Neighbourhood house coordinator Alison Demuth said it was time to shine a light on the historic Soldiers Hill area.
“We picked out the interesting streets and people who helped shape Ballarat into what it is today,” she said.
“We chose walking maps that were easy to do, and showed off different businesses and cafes.”
