Summer Vacation Time: ESRI Story Map of Top Ten Most-Visited U.S.
Urban Parks
Planning a summer getaway
to a big city? ESRI, the leading GIS
software publisher, has created a Story Map showing the most-visited U.S. urban
parks. The parks include popular
destinations in New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
Top Ten Most-Visited U.S. Urban Parks Story Map allows users to view overview maps of the parks with
popular landmarks and features highlighted.
A satellite view of the park is also available. The Story Map includes information about the
number of annual visitors, the size of the park, dates of when the park was
established, who designed the park, and “superlatives” like which destination
is the largest man-made aquatic park, Brooklyn’s only lake, which has the
oldest Japanese garden in the U.S., and which site hosted the 1904 Summer
Olympics.
The Ball State University
Libraries’ GIS Research and Map Collection (GRMC) on the second floor of
Bracken Library offers access to ESRI GIS software and online GIS tutorials,
datasets, online mapping applications, in-house GIS data, and one-on-one
assistance from the GIS Specialist.
For more information,
please contact the GRMC at 765-285-1097 from 7:30 to 4:30 pm Monday through
Friday during the summer.
