Park_Features

The Boston Parks and Recreation Department tracks a select group of park features as part of its asset inventorying efforts. This dataset contains information on the type of park feature, location, and relevant age categories. 

KEY INFORMATION WHEN USING THIS DATA

This data is updated as park capital improvement projects are completed. Capital improvement projects are projects where money from the City budget has been dedicated to renovate all or part of a park. Generally, there is very little change in the types of features present within a park between capital improvement projects. 

The OS_ID field in this layer can be joined with the OS_ID field in the open space shapefile. For the most up-to-date property information such as name or ownership, data users should defer to the open space shapefile.

UA = Unassessed. Information about an asset has not yet been collected.

N/A = Not applicable.
