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. 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 multiple ecosystem services for
the contiguous United States. The dataset is available as downloadable data (https://edg.epa.gov/data/Public/ORD/EnviroAtlas)
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).

The purpose of this data is to show the expected walking distance from any given point in the EnviroAtlas community boundary
to the nearest park entrance. This data can be assessed with other socio-economic factors to identify areas of need. The overall
goal of EnviroAtlas is to employ and develop the best available science to map indicators of ecosystem services production,
demand, and drivers for the nation.
