EnviroAtlas - Public outdoor recreation areas availability and accessibility for the Conterminous United States

Description

This EnviroAtlas map estimates the accessibility and availability of public outdoor recreational areas (e.g., urban parks, national forests) within 800m along walkable routes (approx. ½-mile or 10-minute walk). Accessibility refers to the walkable area surrounding an outdoor recreational area while availability refers to the amount of recreational area provided per person within the walkable area. The map covers the continental U.S. More information can be found in the journal article (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landurbplan.2025.105445).
