OS Open Greenspace
OS Open Greenspace depicts the location and extent of spaces, such as parks and sports facilities, which are likely to be accessible to the public. Where appropriate, it also includes access points to show how to get into these sites. Its primary purpose is to enable members of the public to find and access greenspaces near them for exercise and recreation.
