A boardwalk (alternatively board walk, boarded path, or promenade) is an elevated footpath, walkway, or causeway typically built with wooden planks, which functions as a type of low water bridge or small viaduct that enables pedestrians to better cross wet, muddy or marshy lands.[1] Such timber trackways have existed since at least Neolithic times.
Some wooden boardwalks have had sections replaced by concrete and even "a type of recycled plastic that looks like wood."[2]
