City of Atlanta Parks and Recreation Equity Data Tool

What is the DPR EDT?

To create a more equitable and accessible parks system, the City of Atlanta Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) has released an Equity Data Tool. The tool is an online interactive mapping platform that uses a diverse set of data indicators and scores that help to measure which of the city's parks and recreation centers have the greatest need for park investment and capital improvement.

The tool visualizes and communicates park and recreation existing conditions as well as inequities and disparities across Atlanta's neighborhoods, while also evaluating neighborhood environmental and social determinants of health for each of the census tracts in which the parks and recreation centers are located.

Red indicates a high need score, and green indicates a low need score. The higher the score, the greater the need to prioritize for investment/improvement. Check out more on our indicators and scoring here in the Methodology Report.
