Greenspace in Atlanta Region (Public View Layer)

This layer is maintained by the Natural Resources Department of the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) as an inventory of parks and greenspaces within the 21-county Atlanta Region. It is intended to support regional planning, analysis, and reporting related to parks, open space, conservation, and recreational resources. The dataset has been periodically updated using local government data submissions, with a comprehensive regionwide update completed in 2025. The 2025 update represents a comprehensive refresh of the Greenspace Layer and expands the inventory by mapping greenspaces at the parcel level across the 21-county region. This update incorporates new data fields, revised field definitions, and an updated greenspace typology to better reflect land use, ownership, and access characteristics.
