Parks and Recreation Managed Parks and Reserves (point)

This is a point dataset representing City of Boise Parks and Recreation parks data, based on the National Parks and Recreation Association (NRPA) GIS Data Model. A park is generally an area of land in a largely natural state, sometimes with grass, trees, paths, sports fields, playgrounds, picnic areas and other facilities, that is set aside and managed specifically for recreation use and enjoyment by the public. A reserve is a place set aside for special use. In this case, reserves are lands set aside and protected from future development for the enjoyment of the public as well as a haven for wildlife. This data set was created from a combination of Boise Parks and Recreation park and facility files and the Ada County Parcel records. This dataset was created by POWER Engineers, Inc. and will be maintained by the City of Boise. This data set is updated at the request of Boise Parks and Recreation staff as changes to the park data occur. It is current to the date it was published.
