Abstract:
Polygon feature GIS layer of all public park boundaries in Wyandotte County, KS. These boundaries are based primarily on public recreational land use extents interpreted from high resolution aerial imagery. A tax parcel GIS layer was the secondary information source (for land ownership). Additionally, this park layer's development started with a pre-existing park boundary GIS layer that used tax parcels as a basis.
Published as an ESRI shapefile format, polygon vector layer, in US feet units in Kansas North State Plane coordinate system, NAD 83 datum
Companion public parks datasets are available : 1) park_bldg_py for building footprints (polygons) 2) park facilities points layer (park_facility_pt), 3) plan line features like driveways, fences, etc (park_plan_ln), 4) plan point features like poles, light posts (park_plan_pt), 5) recreational facility polygons, e.g. tennis courts and ball diamonds (park_facility_py), 6) park trails (park_trail_ln) 6) GIS annotation labels are available to complement this park_py layer.

Park attributes are believed accurate and reasonably up-to-date as of publication date. Attributes such as park name and address are sourced from best available internal UG and GSS records.
One polygon for each park is rule,there are a few exceptions. Polygon topology is present. A governing principle for setting park boundaries was to observe apparent land use from aerial photography, with guidance from tax parcel boundaries (land ownership). This approach was necessary because of lack of resources to research and determine actual legal park ownership boundary descriptions (which, if they exist, may or may not always coincide with land use and occupation that has occurred on parks over many years). Park land use extent was established as consistently and rationally as possilble but will be subject to differences of opinion. This dataset represents our 'best guess' determination of where park boundaries lie. Where individual parks are split into detached polygons by street rights-of-way, the separate polygons were merged into multi-part polygons for better data management purposes. In some cases, parks comprised of multiple but adjacent ownership polygons were combined into one complete park boundary polygon (crossing over ROW). This was done for mainly aesthetic reasons. Attributes for park name and park type were domain-coded values for standardization and consistency purposes.
Complete set of public parks in the county
No quantitative positional accuracy statement is made. These boundaries are interpreted from observable land use apparent from aerial photography and compared with tax parcel boundaries This dataset does not purport to show legal park ownership boundaries.
Aerial orthophotography provided snapshot of ground conditions to compare and review features, and as an overlay for boundary digitization.
Pictometry oblique imagery was used as a secondary source to identify, review, compare, and verify ground conditions on public parks
Digital planimetric/topographic drawing files (CAD format) furnished topographic and planimetric detail as a snapshot of ground conditions to compare and review features relating to public parks
Provided information about park locations, assets and facilities
Provided information about park assets and facilities
UG GIS tax parcel dataset layer furnished reference framework and verification of land ownership of parks
Development of this park boundary layer used an existing park layer as starting basis. Attribution such as name, address or park type were compiled from available sources. In GIS software, park boundaries (from antecedent park layer) were checked and redrawn as necessary through heads-up digitizing using aerial imagery as a comparative overlay and verification source of actual on-the-ground park extents.
