Parks and public space in Medellín
Explore parks, ecological parks, squares and green areas in GeoMedellín’s downloadable public-space inventory. Inspect names and neighborhoods, compare categories and analyze areas. A separate view lets you study 480 proposed public-space records from the 2014 land-use plan, with seven categories, twelve subcategories and six published levels. The ecopark management layer includes 81 records from 2024 with published actions and associated streams.
Explore these layers ↗The general inventory contains 1,507 records downloaded on September 26, 2026; its metadata describes October 2025 without a single date for every feature. Proposed public space retains December 17, 2014 dates: these are planning proposals, not open parks or completed works. Ecopark management has its own date, September 30, 2024. These layers can overlap: records and areas must not be summed as unique parks or additional available land. Categories such as “No Aplica” are retained without interpreting them as absence of a space. The general inventory and proposals use geometries simplified by up to 0.5 m, with area change below 1%; area attributes are calculated from the original geometries. Current opening, maintenance, accessibility and regulatory status are not confirmed.

How to use itHow to use the map
- Open the prepared query for this theme in the viewer. Search a neighborhood or enter coordinates as latitude, longitude.
- Review enabled layers in the theme and zoom in. Detailed layers require a close scale to keep queries bounded.
- Select a feature on the map or in the Results list. Check its attributes, retrieval time and any partial-result notice.
- Choose a field and exact value to filter the layer. Export includes received results, with attribution and dates. Its coverage depends on the query scope and filters.
Frequently asked questions
What does Parks and public space include in the Medellín geovisor?
In Medellín’s Parks and public space you can explore 3 layers: Ecoparks · 2024 management inventory, Public-space inventory, and Proposed public space · 2014 land-use plan. Each layer states its source, date and use limits.
Can I reuse the Parks and public space data?
According to each layer’s published license: CC BY-SA 4.0. Check the exact license on the layer record before reuse.
How current are the Parks and public space data?
Layers declare data dates from 2014-12-17 to 2024-09-30; 1 of 3 have no verified dataset-wide date. Last GeoSAT verification: 2026-09-28.
How do I explore Parks and public space in the viewer?

Sources, dates and limits
Each source’s verification date appears in the table. Retrieval time is not the data update date. Small city-wide layers use the full extent; larger layers depend on the visible area. Reference publications retain their original retrieval date. Each page contains up to 500 features: up to 2 MiB for external services and 4 MiB for local publications. Reference publications load matching pages, up to 5,000 features and 8 MiB per query. External services may return partial samples, identified in the viewer.

| Ecoparks · 2024 management inventoryDistrito Especial de Ciencia Tecnología e Innovación de Medellín - GeoMedellín - Dato proporcionado por Secretaría de Medio Ambiente - Subsecretaría de Recursos Naturales Renovables · Adaptación GeoSAT: selección de atributos y fechas ISO; conversión WGS84 del servidor original, sin redondeo ni simplificación de geometrías 81 ecopark records managed by the Environment Secretariat, from the September 30, 2024 version stated in the metadata, at 1:500 scale. Individual records have no dates. The published action is Mantenimiento (maintenance) in 74 records, Generación (creation) in five and unspecified in two; these categories do not establish current work, completion or public opening. Every component, hole and original server WGS84 coordinate is preserved. This layer overlaps the existing park inventory: these are not 81 additional parks, and their areas should not be added across inventories. Streams, addresses and categories retain published wording; they do not establish opening hours, trails, accessibility or visitor conditions. | 2024-09-30Source checked: | CC BY-SA 4.0 |

These are planning proposals, not open parks or completed works. The queried service contains 480 IDs; the metadata retains an earlier count of 478. Every record states adoption and update dates of December 17, 2014; metadata was published and revised on March 19, 2015 and mentions a 2018 resolution without changing those record dates. Retrieval in 2026 does not establish current regulatory status. Every geometry component and hole is retained; simplification is up to 0.5 m, with area change below 1%. Area (m²) is calculated from the original polygon in EPSG:9377. Records may share names and overlap other inventories: record counts are not unique park counts, and area sums do not measure existing public space or additional available land. Verify the applicable planning instrument before making development decisions. Metadato y licencia / Metadata and license ↗ | 2014-12-17Source checked: | CC BY-SA 4.0 |
