How much outdoors does Seaside Park have?
On conserved land, trails, park land and how close residents live to a park, Seaside Park is ahead of 97% of U.S. towns. All four inputs are above most U.S. towns; the share of residents near a park ranks highest, park acres per resident lowest.
New Jersey towns conserve more land than most (a typical one, 11%; the U.S., 4%), so Seaside Park’s 13% is ahead of 55% of New Jersey towns, while its trails per square mile lead 82% of them.
Water is 20% of Seaside Park’s area (0 of 1 square miles), so every share here is of land; over land and water together, the conserved share would read 11%.
