EnviroAtlas Proximity to Parks Web Service

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research & Development (ORD) - National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Catalog Last Checked: May 06, 2026 at 12:14 AM | Dataset Last Updated: December 12, 2016 at 12:00 AM
This EnviroAtlas web service supports research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas). This EnviroAtlas dataset shows the approximate walking distance from a park entrance at any given location within the EnviroAtlas community boundary. The zones are estimated in 1/4 km intervals up to 1km then in 1km intervals up to 5km. Park entrances were included in this analysis if they were within 5km of the community boundary. For specific information about methods used to develop data for each community, consult their individual metadata records: Austin, TX (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B6D2657C3-52F8-4E41-BC35-00EE9DAADE4E%7D); Birmingham, AL (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7Be2f2445f-f7df-4b83-9004-eb4e1c45bed9%7D); Baltimore, MD (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B920a6fb4-812e-421d-a4fa-f6a328c1f3d3%7D); Brownsville, TX (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7Bc31dcddc-6750-4504-9121-668f2c6d53d3%7D); Cleveland, OH (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B0ced9d35-9f11-46ca-abf0-1e10ebae1331%7D); Des Moines, IA (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B7BDA7EB9-C5F8-4C15-90A4-A3CB285671D9%7D); Durham, NC (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B38956084-2AB2-422C-B56D-068C8CA6AAFE%7D); Fresno, CA (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B5D957C70-5A37-48A6-B7D4-1E304710417F%7D); Green Bay, WI (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B8675EC55-2CCE-4B83-972A-A23CD6618B09%7D); Memphis, TN (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7BBBF52A70-DCCF-4DB6-ACDE-82A321A03F8C%7D); Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B6a46d7c8-a344-4d19-a111-0c96a2fda15f%7D); Milwaukee, WI (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7BE0EC8E26-0688-4EC5-8611-BF300054820E%7D); New Bedford, MA (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B15DE4903-7C9D-4F61-9761-53D9904447C1%7D); New Haven, CT (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B9d0bac80-69fc-4649-9131-95f276da0ca0%7D); New York, NY (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B4860A2BF-B3EB-4199-A3F2-6DDB7E97F880%7D); Phoenix, AZ (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B42936F73-D645-4C86-820A-72A19FBB213A%7D); Pittsburgh, PA (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7BA62B08BE-36D7-43EF-8C89-4EDC2EB5EF54%7D); Portland, ME (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7BF3BA2EEB-784B-45C2-B8BD-DC2C2CEE2479%7D); Paterson, NJ (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B90E93159-7A1E-4BAB-95FC-8B04A15070E3%7D); Portland, OR (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B4671F2A5-B691-47F9-9A1D-C11AA0F952D0%7D); Salt Lake City, UT (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B4671F2A5-B691-47F9-9A1D-C11AA0F952D0%7D);Tampa, FL (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7BC17799CA-F743-4CE6-BC71-3D4C82E5F2BC%7D); and Woodbine, IA (https://edg.epa.gov/metadata/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B667D6539-13C6-45A2-BD5B-80108BAA5213%7D).
