The GIS Section reviews the layer in support of the EOC and the Urban Planning Division. The data is checked for inclusion and geometric placement accuracy. The GIS Section is no longer updating City Parks 100%. We will be reviewing a select handful of parks each year. Generally, we will begin our update schedule with the largest cities first, but a good city parks source may alter that schedule. The years listed below indicate which cities have been updated.

2009: All parks corrected to parcels. Corrected/updated Weston with T. Gates data.

2010: The cities' parks updated included Hollywood, Pompano Beach, and Hollywood.

The review technique was a review and/or incorporation of geodata from Ft. Lauderdale and website information incorporation from Pompano and Hollywood.

2011: Davie Parks updated and corrected based on Irene Degroot's shapefile and aerials. Wilton Manors update complete, city manager’s office said pocket parks are to be expected soon. West Park parks reflect parcels - note Mary Saunders Park is a very irregular shape, made up of many rights-of-way and will be an exception to our parcel-based rule.

2013: Toni Peyton said there were no changes to county parks since Miramar Pinelands. She requested a map of POD parks. Pembroke Pines - reviewed park inventory, park map locator, and spoke with Lori of Chuck Vones' (Dir. Parks and Rec) office. Reviewed Miramar Park Inventory.

2014: Reviewed and updated Coral Springs, Lauderdale By the Sea, Pembroke Park, Pembroke Pines, Lighthouse Point, Fort Lauderdale, Coconut Creek, and West Park.

2015: Reviewed 05/15/15

2021: Updated by BCGIS - Ruth Rothkoph Park and Lieberman Botanical Park in Lauderhill.
