What kind of outdoors town is Greenland?
Read from the map. The page puts what stands out first.
Outdoors grade
How much outdoors does Greenland have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Greenland is ahead of 21% of U.S. towns. Park acres per resident hold the grade up; trail miles pull it down.

Few Arkansas towns conserve much land (a typical one, 1%; the U.S., 4%), so Greenland’s under 1% is ahead of 29% of Arkansas towns, while its trails per square mile lead 11% of them.
NoteFew parks or trails are mapped in Greenland. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers and coverage varies from town to town, so a town with unmapped parks scores low on them.
How sure. Graded on any three of the four inputs instead, the letter would range from D to C. Trails and many small parks come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by volunteers, so coverage varies from town to town; the half mile is a straight line from each census block, so a river or highway in the way isn’t counted against it.

Questions about parks and trails in Greenland
How much of Greenland is conserved land?
under 1% of its land, against a typical 1% for an Arkansas town and 4% nationally (PAD-US). Conserved doesn’t always mean open to visitors: easements are usually private land.
Are dogs allowed on Greenland’s trails?
Greenland City Park and Taylor Park don’t have dog rules recorded on the map; check the signs at the trailhead.
Is there public land near Greenland?
5,579 acres of parks and open public land lie inside Greenland or within 10 miles of it (PAD-US), 21 of them inside the city line.
How much outdoors does Greenland have?
Ahead of 21% of U.S. towns on the Outdoors grade. The grade combines the share of land that is conserved, miles of mapped trail per square mile of land, park acres per 1,000 residents and the share of residents within a half mile of a park. It’s a character grade, so it isn’t part of the overall grade. How it works.
