Description

The outdoor parks for this dataset were identified using Google Maps. Each data point was geocoded using the latitude and longitude points of each outdoor park that Google Maps identified as being a part of Newark and inputted into a spreadsheet. Using the NJ Municipalities layer on ArcGIS Pro helped to finalize the list, ensuring that each park point was inside the Newark boundary.
