Description:
Abstract:
This dataset contains lands that make up all of the State Parks in Florida as of May 1, 2011. This is an update to the stpark_jan11 layer.
Purpose:
The dataset is provided to show the boundaries of all of the State Parks in Florida.
Supplemental_Information:
The first two-time Gold Medal winner honoring the nation's best state park system, the Florida Park Service is one of the largest in the country with 160 parks spanning 700,000 acres and 100 miles of sandy white beach. From swimming and diving in Florida's rivers and springs to birding and fishing or hiking and riding on natural scenic trails, Florida's state parks offer year-round outdoor activities for all ages. Battle reenactments and Native American festivals celebrate Florida's history, while art shows, museums and lighthouses offer a window into Florida's cultural heritage.

Process_Description:
For each park the parcel lines are imported from AutoCad into the File Geodatabase for that park, topology is created, then parcel polygons produced. Finally the individual parcel polygons are attributed.

Process_Description:
The parcel boundaries are then exported into a shapefile projected into FDEP Albers. The parcel polygons in the shapefile are merged into a single multi-part polygon and attribute information is added. Individual park boundaries are updated whenever new parcels are added to that park or we acquire more accurate survey data for existing parcels.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's GeoData Directory website (<http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gis/datadir.htm>) in August 2011. The data was downloaded in shapefile format and was in the following projection: Albers NAD 83 HARN. During the AQ/QC process the following tasks were undertaken: - Redefined the dataset's projection from FDEP Albers to FGDL Albers. - Deleted the OBJECTID field. - Uppercased all records in the table. - A DESCRIPT field was added based on SITE_NAME. - A FGDLAQDATE field was added based on date downloaded from source. - Renamed file from PARKS_AND_REC_AREAS to stpark_may11.

Resource_Description: DOWNLOADABLE DATA
Distribution_Liability:
The Florida Geographic Data Library is a collection of Geospatial Data compiled by the University of Florida GeoPlan Center with support from the Florida Department of Transportation. GIS data available in FGDL is collected from various state, federal, and other agencies (data sources) who are data stewards, producers, or publishers. The data available in FGDL may not be the most current version of the data offered by the data source. University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no guarantees about the currentness of the data and suggests that data users check with the data source to see if more recent versions of the data exist.
Furthermore, the GIS data available in the FGDL are provided 'as is'. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no warranties, guaranties or representations as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of the data provided by the data sources. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center makes no representations or warranties about the quality or suitability of the materials, either expressly or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The University of Florida GeoPlan Center shall not be liable for any damages suffered as a result of using, modifying, contributing or distributing the materials.
A note about data scale:
Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modeling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.
1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.
Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>
