OS MasterMap Greenspace Layer can be downloaded from the [OS Data Hub](https://osdatahub.os.uk/). It is available in the following formats:

* ESRI shapefile
* GML (3.2.1)
* GeoPackage
* Vector tiles (MBTiles)

The data is supplied in 5km² tiles, but features are not clipped at tile edges, resulting in what is called ‘hairy’ tiles. All formats contain one element, namely the greenspace site information.
