# OS Open Greenspace Getting Started Guide OS Open Greenspace contains information on greenspace sites and their access points and is an OpenData product. This getting started guide illustrates how to load and style OS Open Greenspace data into several commonly used GIS applications. ## Product supply OS Open Greenspace can be downloaded from the [OS Data Hub](https://osdatahub.os.uk/). It will be available as either ESRI shapefile or Geography Markup Language (GML) format. The data will be available in 100km x 100km tiles, but features will not be clipped at tile edges, resulting in what is called ‘hairy’ tiles. In the ESRI shapefile release, the product will comprise two elements: the greenspace site and the access points. The GML release will simply contain both elements in one file. ## Loading OS Open Greenspace data The following pages cover how to open and use OS Open Greenspace data across five software solutions: * [QGIS](https://docs.os.uk/os-downloads/products/land-and-terrain-portfolio/os-mastermap-greenspace-layer/os-mastermap-greenspace-layer-getting-started-guide/qgis) * [ESRI ArcGIS](https://docs.os.uk/os-downloads/products/land-and-terrain-portfolio/os-open-greenspace/os-open-greenspace-getting-started-guide/esri-arcgis) * [PostGIS](https://docs.os.uk/os-downloads/products/land-and-terrain-portfolio/os-mastermap-greenspace-layer/os-mastermap-greenspace-layer-getting-started-guide/postgis) * [MapInfo Professional](https://docs.os.uk/os-downloads/products/land-and-terrain-portfolio/os-mastermap-greenspace-layer/os-mastermap-greenspace-layer-getting-started-guide/mapinfo-professional) * [Cadcorp Map Modeller](https://docs.os.uk/os-downloads/products/land-and-terrain-portfolio/os-mastermap-greenspace-layer/os-mastermap-greenspace-layer-getting-started-guide/cadcorp-map-modeller)
