The ‘Strathcona County Parks’ dataset contains outdoor areas of land that support active and passive recreational activities that are owned or operated by Strathcona County. It includes all natural and human-made landscaping, facilities and structures consistent with the general purpose of public park land whether or not the facilities are publicly operated or operated by other organizations pursuant to arrangements with the public authority owning the park. This will include but is not limited to municipal parks, schools, community halls, storm water management facilities, urban forests and protected areas. The boundaries of the ‘Park’ are typically related to the parcel boundaries as defined by zoning/Order-in-Council/other cadastre but there may be exceptions. Please note, there may be some ‘parks’ (protected areas, natural reserves, crown reservations, etc) that will not be included in this data layer if they are not owned or operated by Strathcona County.
