The ‘lungs’ of our ‘urban society’

A Government initiative to make it easier for people to locate & access greenspaces has launched with the release of a new database & interactive digital map identifying accessible recreational and leisure greenspace in Great Britain.

Delivered by Ordnance Survey (OS), the free map contains data from OS & other sources, and can be used immediately, for FREE, through the popular leisure mapping app & online service, OS Maps. This comprehensive map of Great Britain’s greenspaces is also available as an open dataset, called OS Open Greenspace, for communities, businesses & developers to create products & services that will encourage healthier and greener lifestyles.
