How much outdoors does Lake Park have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Lake Park is ahead of 14% of U.S. towns. All four inputs are below most U.S. towns; trail miles come closest.
Few Georgia towns conserve much land (a typical one, 2%; the U.S., 4%), so Lake Park’s under 1% is ahead of 6% of Georgia towns, while its trails per square mile lead 33% of them.
