    • EnviroAtlas - Public outdoor recreational area (per capita) within walking distance for the conterminous United States

    Metadata Updated: August 30, 2025

    This EnviroAtlas dataset measures accessibility (i.e., proximity or nearness) of public outdoor recreational areas within an 800 meter walk (approximately 1/2 mile or 10-minute walk) along walkable routes and availability as the area of outdoor recreational space provided per person who can access it.

    This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas. EnviroAtlas (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas) allows the user to interact with a web-based, easy-to-use, mapping application to view and analyze many datasets related to ecosystem services. The dataset is available as downloadable data or as an EnviroAtlas map service. Additional descriptive information about each attribute in this dataset can be found in its associated EnviroAtlas Fact Sheet (https://www.epa.gov/enviroatlas/enviroatlas-fact-sheets) or journal article (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2025.105445).
