    Description:
      Abstract:
        This is geographical representation of the Park Authority's Grounds Management Areas. The county is divided into 7 geographical areas with an Area Crew (Area1 , Area 2, etc.) responsible for grounds maintenance within the limits of the boundaries.
      Purpose: The purpose of this data is to allow managers to quickly determine the location of a park within each geographic area.
      Supplemental Information: This data, along with other GIS layers, can also be used to quickly and easily determine natural physical boundaries (roads, etc.) for each maintenance area.
