PublicSpaceSeattle EntryPts

The PublicSpaceSeattle sublayer is a comprehensive inventory of all outdoor, publicly-accessible spaces in Seattle. It is complemented by a separate entrance point sublayer, PublicSpaceSeattle_EntryPts, for network analysis purposes.  PrivateOpenSpace contains parks and open spaces that aren't publicly-accessible. Current as of Jan 1, 2022. Webmap of the data is available here.PublicSpaceSeattle is a comprehensive inventory of all outdoor public spaces in Seattle. It includes all types of publicly-accessible outdoor spaces (public parks, privately owned plazas, cemeteries, greenbelts, etc) across all forms of ownership (City of Seattle, the Port of Seattle, King County, universities, etc).This dataset was developed for use in planning and analysis applications, and is oriented toward user experience. Therefore, areas under different forms of City ownership forming a connected open space have sometimes been merged, with all owners listed in the feature attributes (such as a greenbelt owned by both SPR and SDOT).The dataset includes all outdoor publicly-accessible space (cemeteries, parks, schoolyards, etc). Buildings and parking lots are included in feature boundaries if the location is primarily dedicated toward environmental or outdoor recreational uses (such as a park). Buildings and parking lots are not included in locations primarily dedicated toward other uses (such as libraries and schoolyards). Waterbodies are included within feature boundaries only if they are surrounded by land-based public space.PublicSpaceSeattle_EntryPts contains entrance points for the polygon features in PublicSpaceSeattle.  Identical feature data is attached to each polygon and corresponding entrance point.Field definitionsNAME: name of public spaceTYPE: public space type (i.e.. park, greenbelt, cemetery, golf course, plaza, etc)OWNER: initials of owner (see OWNER NAME LONG for full name)GREENSPACE: feature is or contains an occupiable lawn areaPLAYGROUND: feature is or contains a playground, play area, or play featureSPORTS: feature is or contains a sports facility of any type, including a skatepark, basketball hoop, football field, etcNATURAL: feature is or contains a natural area such as a forest or wetlandTRAIL: feature is or contains a trail network long enough to be used for walking, jogging, running, or biking (such as a loop trail within a large park, a segment of a larger trail network, etc)AGRICULTURE: feature is used for or contains an area for agricultural activity, such as a community garden or p-patchRESTROOM: feature contains a public restroomWATER: feature contains or is in close proximity to a waterbody, stream, or human-made water feature.
