In common usage I would assume labyrinth = maze.
However, I have been to the type that you are talking about as well, also specifically called a "walking labyrinth." The path delineations were made with small rocks, the whole area was no more than about 30 feet on a side, and you were supposed to simply walk to the center and out again while meditating. We were given a little candle to hold too, and told to focus our eyes on the flame, letting our feet "find" the way on their own (not our peripheral vision, no, it was our feet sensing the energy of the path or whatever nonsense...)
Anyway, it ended up being a very nice and calming little experience. Same as any other kind of meditation activity I guess.
