The west Meadows blocks — murals and statues around the shopping district. Exact shortest walking order on real path-network distances (BRouter), solved with Held–Karp and confirmed by exhaustive brute force. Every gym within ~1 km is plotted in red for context — zoom out to see them all.

Loop or line? The loop returns to the start; start at any gym — numbering is anchored at Cat Tail for reference. The line runs Medieval Knight Statue → Fly Fisherman Mural and saves 418 m over the loop.
Verified. Every leg of this loop was verified against on-the-ground paths: distances are accurate, the order is provably optimal, and the two big-road crossings (Main and State at 1200 East) happen at the traffic signal. In practice you can shave roughly 150-250 m off the posted 2.1 km by cutting straight across the retail parking lots — none are fenced — and on the long Knight Statue to Stone Haven leg, cross Main at the signal right by the statue rather than mid-block.
Origin. Found as rank #7 in the PG-area route search: closed loops hitting 7+ gyms in a 30-minute walk, searched across a 10 km radius.
Method. Distances are the per-pair minimum of BRouter's hiking-mountain and shortest profiles plus a metric-closure pass. Gym data: PokeScrapper capture through 2026-07-07. Buildings and paths: OpenStreetMap.
