How much parkland is here?

The USGS Protected Areas Database (PAD-US 4.1, Ohio package): every park, forest, wildlife area, reservoir recreation area and preserve whose owner reports open public access, from city parks to Wayne National Forest, with proclamation boundaries, closed easements, farmland easements and military land left out. The map shows the share of each ZIP's land inside those areas; the card lists the largest units by acres inside the ZIP and the straight-line distance to the nearest state park run by the Department of Natural Resources. PAD-US inherits local inventories of uneven quality, so a golf course or a school field can appear as a park and a new metropark can be missing. ODNR's facility layers add the nearest boat ramp, fishing access, swim area and campground on state lands. ODNR's statewide trails inventory lists the named trails and state bike routes crossing the ZIP. The USGS Protected Areas Database gives the share of the ZIP that is public or permanently protected land, by manager.

1,233 of 1,233 ZIPs have data; median 1%.
