Scotland’s Improvement Service has added data on the location of sports facilities to the national Spatial Hub platform.
It has incorporated a new dataset from sportscotland into the hub, which is run by the Spatial Information Service brings together a wide range of data directly from local authorities and partner organisations.
The Improvement Service said the can be downloaded and used by anyone from local government, the public sector and community organisations as well as interested individuals who want to know what sporting facilities are located in their local area.
Sports facilities included in the dataset range from ice rinks and bowling greens to fitness suites and swimming pools, covering a wide range of sporting activities.
The organisation said the making the information available can support the development of the 20minute neighbourhood concept in Scotland, which calls for good access to services that support local living.
In June of last year the Improvement Service launched open access to the Spatial Hub so it’s data would be available to people other than public servants.
