BUILDING A WEB GIS APPLICATION FOR LOCATING PARKS AND AMENITIES IN ROSEVILLE, CALIFORNIA

Abstract

Parks are an important part of the community. They provide a place for the public to gather for events, play sports, enjoy the outdoors, and catch up with neighbors. Roseville, California, is a growing city that is continually developing new parks, which can make it difficult for the public to be aware of all the parks and amenities the city has to offer. City parks are often an underutilized public resource. Lack of park awareness is one of the main reasons cited for not utilizing city parks. In Roseville, the public may visit the city’s Parks and Places webpage to view a map of city parks. To find particular park amenities, the public may visit 88 individual park webpages to view each of the static lists of available park amenities for each park. Through this project, an interactive web application is built to eliminate the time-consuming process when searching for park amenities and to provide awareness of the parks and park amenities offered throughout the city of Roseville. ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and ArcGIS Experience Builder are used to build an application that allows the user to search for parks by name, map location, or by a desired combination of park amenities. This application will serve as a prototype web application that will allow the public to search Roseville parks and park amenities in a user-friendly way, bringing awareness to all parks and park amenities offered in Roseville.
