Broward County State and City Parks

This dataset is a combination of the Broward County Parks, Broward County City Parks, and Broward County State Parks datasets. Broward County Parks: The locations of all sixty-two county-owned and operated parks, last updated March 2013 when the Lafayette Park boundary changed. This layer was reviewed by the Parks and Recreation Division of Broward County on 5/15/2015 with no updates required. This layer will be updates as park boundaries change or new parks are added to Broward County. Broward County City Parks: The GIS Section reviews the BCGIS.ParkCity layer annually in support of the EOC and the Comprehensive Plan. The data is checked for inclusion and geometric placement accuracy. The GIS Section is no longer updating City Parks 100%. We will be reviewing a select handful of parks each year. Generally we will begin our update schedule with the largest cities first, but a good city parks source may alter that schedule. The years listed below indicate which cities have been updated. 2009: All parks corrected to parcels. Corrected/updated Weston with T. Gates data. 2010: The cities' parks updated included Hollywood, Pompano Beach, and Hollywood. The review technique was a review and/or incorporation of geodata from Ft. Lauderdale and website information incorporation from Pompano and Hollywood. 2011: Davie Parks updated and corrected based on Irene Degroot's shapefile and aerials. Wilton Manors update complete, city managers office said pocket parks are to be expected soon. West Park parks reflect parcels - note Mary Saunders Park is a very irregular shape, made up of many rights-of-way and will be an exception to our parcel based rule. 2013: Toni Peyton said there were no changes to county parks since Miramar Pinelands. She requested a map of POD parks. Pembroke Pines - reviewed park inventory, park map locator, and spoke with Lori of Chuck Vones' (Dir. Parks and Rec) office.
