“Protected Areas”
What do we all want?
Find out about any park or protected
area
Anywhere in the U.S.
All in one data set
That’s the vision for PAD-US
Includes:
Small sites to huge sites…
Recreation to habitat…
Everything.
PAD-US is geospatial (GIS) data
3 billion acres*
120,000 units
15,000+

Published by
USGS
*Full inventory includes ownership and overlapping designations, plus marine protected areas
PAD-US is boundaries
Ownership
Management
Designation
(Fee/easement;
Wilderness, MPA, etc.)
Put it all together, and . . .

Practically, it can function like this . . .
Mobile apps
Park Prescriptions
Doctors - ParkRx
Outdoor rec
For wellness
Manage illness
Need full inventory
Activities data
With good data, we can…
Protect biodiversity, track conservation assets
Hazard mitigation, climate change adaption
Help people lead more active, healthy lives
Connect people and nature
Find parks and make reservations
Ensure equal access to public open space
Have great mobile apps
Support economic development
and more . . .
