Named parks, gardens and woods in the commune or within 400 m, the biggest and best-pathed first: Parc de la Combe à la Serpent leads, at 383 ha. Directions go to a point inside.

The protected areas reaching the commune, and the nearest: national parks, regional nature parks, nature reserves and Natura 2000 sites.
Designations overlap (a regional park can hold a Natura 2000 site), so the rows don’t add up; the first counts each piece of land once.
17% of Chenôve’s land is protected, more than in 77% of compared French towns; the median compared town in Côte-d'Or has 0%.

Paths, bridleways, steps and tracks open on foot, and waymarked hiking routes, mapped on OpenStreetMap inside the commune; woods are mapped forest and woodland, private woods included.
That is more than in 95% of compared French towns for footpaths per km², and for woodland less than in 59% of compared French towns. Hiking routes often follow paths and lanes already counted, so the two lengths overlap: don’t add them. Every home in Chenôve is within 800 m of a mapped park or wood, as in most French towns.
