Mapping for Equity in McCarren Park—Data Entry at the Greenpoint Library
March 20, 2024 @ 3:30 PM – 5:30 PM EDT
Help us create open data about communities! North Brooklyn Parks Alliance (NBPA), Assembly Member Emily Gallagher, City Council Member Jen Gutiérrez, City Council Member Lincoln Restler, and BetaNYC invite you to map McCarren Park and learn about our Mapping for Equity project.
Join our team at the Greenpoint Library and learn how to turn the data collected at our field mapping event into publically accessible open data on OpenStreetMap. Our staff and Civic Innovation Fellows will guide you through the process of uploading and tagging features on OpenStreetMap. All are welcome to share their skills or learn for the first time! Please bring your own laptop, charger, and mouse.
No experience is required to attend. This event will be delivered in English and all ages are welcome, provided that anyone under 18 years old is present with a parent or guardian. The Greepoint Library is wheelchair accessible. If you have any needs or accommodations, please email events@beta.nyc.
This event is part of a series of Mapping for Equity events led by BetaNYC fellows. You do not need to attend both events to participate. Join us for one or both!
March 16, 10:00 am – 12:00 pm @ McCarren Park Fieldhouse
March 20, 3:30pm – 5:30 pm @ Greenpoint Library
