This dataset provides a partial representation of County Parks, Municipal Parks, and other Local Park lands in Wisconsin.
<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This polygon feature class is an aggregation of information the WI DNR obtained from Wisconsin counties, municipalities, and Regional Planning Commissions, supplemented by data from ESRI Streetmap local parks data, intersected with V4 Statewide Parcels to obtain property owner type codes.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Because this dataset varies greatly in accuracy from county to county, it is not recommended for boundary display in public-facing maps that display ownership. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>State lands and Federal lands are not included in this dataset, and should be displayed using other recommended DNR datasets.

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This data was developed using various sources and at various scales and is not meant for detailed analysis, nor to serve as an authoritative source of ownership information; it is only for general reference. It is also not recommended for public maps that display ownership.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The Statewide Parcels geodatabase used for populating the AUXCLASS value in this dataset was not adjusted for the individual years of the source parks data.
