Foursquare: Foot Traffic to Trails, Parks Rises in the Era of Social Distancing

The West reacted to Covid-19 quicker and stronger than the Midwest

Location technology platform Foursquare updated its foot traffic analysis in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic with data through March 27, as well as the addition of trends by region and of new categories outdoors (parks and trails), supply stores and drug stores.

Foursquare shared some of the highlights from its update.

The company projected in a previous update last week that people will look for new ways to stay fit while adhering to social distancing requirements, such as running or hiking outside.

Indeed, visits to trails were up 34% across the country compared with the previous week, while parks saw a 10% uptick in visits during the same time period.
