People walking between the bus stop (outside the picture) and the building (on the right) don’t like taking the long route around this huge green circle. It was pretty obvious that this would happen sooner or later.

One method is to make your big green circle, then see where the desire paths occur, and then use brick or flagstone, etc to mark the most used path.
