Access Explorer

The California Natural Resources Agency’s Access for All Initiative and 30x30 set a goal of equitable access for all to the state’s natural and open spaces. This dashboard helps illustrate the current challenges and highlights opportunities. 

The Access Explorer shows statewide measures of the population living within a half mile of any open space such as a park with public access contained within the Conserved Areas database, whether it meets the 30x30 definition of conserved or not.  

You can then compare those measures to areas that meet the 30x30 definition or to the population overall.  

The Access Explorer is a work in progress. Enhancements will be informed by an Outdoors for All roadmap due out in early 2023. 

The demographics were compiled from ESRI Demographics  in March 2022.
