This map shows the level of park pressure on downtown parkswithin the Nashville Next downtown (T6) transect. The parkpressure analysis looks at park acres per 1000 residents livingwithin a half-mile (10-minute walk) service area of each park. Theservice areas are based on a dynamic analysis approach using awalkable road network that removes interstates, highways, rivers,and railroads to determine how an individual would walk to eachpark.
