Denver Trails and Sidewalks with Physical Attributes and Jurisdiction

A polyline representation of recreational trails and sidewalks in areas maintained by Denver Parks and Recreation, with some context data extending beyond city limits. The dataset includes columns for physical attributes like LENGTH_MIL, WIDTH_FT, SURFACE_TY, and administrative details like JURISDICTI and YEAR_BUILT. It is hosted on data.colorado.gov and was last updated on 2026-05-29.

Use Cases

• Predict asset_condition using features like SURFACE_TY, YEAR_BUILT, and WIDTH_FT from 24 available columns.
• Analyze spatial distribution of ACCESSIBIL features relative to PARK_TYPE and JURISDICTI using the geometry column.
• Calculate total maintained trail length by filtering on PRIMARY_US and summing LENGTH_MIL values.
• Model pedestrian network connectivity by analyzing shape_length and PATH_TYPE attributes.

Strengths

• Dataset includes detailed physical and administrative attributes across 24 columns.
• Geospatial geometry column enables mapping and spatial analysis.
• Maintained by a municipal department (Denver Parks and Recreation), suggesting official provenance.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
