DC posts 'Parks and Recreation Areas' dataset to Open Data portal

The District of Columbia government publishes a dataset titled "Parks and Recreation Areas" on its Open Data portal that catalogs public parks and recreation sites across the city. The dataset is presented on the city’s official open-data platform and is intended for public access.

The Open Data entry provides a machine-readable inventory of park and recreation locations so that residents, planners, researchers and developers can reference the city's publicly managed outdoor spaces. The dataset lives on the District’s data portal alongside other municipal data resources and is linked for download and reuse.

City agencies maintain the portal as a place

City agencies maintain the portal as a place to surface official data for transparency and operational uses. Making the parks inventory available in a standard, downloadable form supports mapping, event planning, community research and third-party app development that rely on accurate public-space records.
