This dataset is deisgned to represent and identify the boundaries of city and state maintained parks within Lexington-Fayette County. One private park, Triangle Park, is included inthe dataset due to its integration into downtown Lexington. The dataset was created by leveraging the appropriate boundaries in the GIS parcel dataset. The park property inventory is maintained by the LFUCG Division of Parks and changes are conveyed to the GIS Office for inclusion. This dataset participates in a topology with the parcel dataset to assure coincident geometry during parcel editing.

As part of the basemap data layers, the park boundary map layer is an integral part of the Lexington Fayette-Urban County Government Geographic Information System. Basemap data layers are accessed by personnel in most LFUCG divisions for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production. More advanced user applications may focus on thematic mapping, summarization of data by geography, or planning purposes (including defining boundaries, managing assets and facilities, integrating attribute databases with geographic features, spatial analysis, and presentation output).
