Scotland’s Greenspace Map

In 2011, greenspace scotland published the world's first national greenspace map. Working with Ordnance Survey (OS) this has been updated and extended so that it now covers greenspace in Scotland, England and Wales.

At the click of a mouse, you can use this free interactive digital map to find accessible recreational and leisure greenspace anywhere in Britain – parks, public gardens, playing fields, sports areas, play spaces, allotments and community gardens. The only challenge is deciding which greenspace to visit next!

App developer, professional user or researcher? Find out more about using the greenspace map as an open dataset and the OS MasterMap Greenspace Layer on the Greenspace Map page.
