Travis County Parks may own and/or manage more parkland that is not open to the public.
Name:May consist of 1 or more polygonal features ("tracts") that make up a particular park. To determine how many parks Travis County eithers owns or manages, one could Summarize this field or the ParkID field, which uniquely identifies individual parks.

Park Type: 7 predefined types created & defined by TNR. Based on Service Area (as defined by the NRPA GIS data model), Size, & in 3 cases Purpose. Service Area takes precedence over size.
Neighborhood Park: 0-5 miles*/ 10 min*/ 20 - 200 - 100 miles/ 2-6 hrs/ > 1000 acres
Preserve: Purpose = preserve
Connector: Purpose = connector. These tracts make up the individual Greenway/ Corridor Parks. Non-Park Flood Mitigation Lands: Purpose = flood mitigation lands. None of these should actually be considered a "park", as there is never an intention to have these lands open to the public. However, acreage of this type of land should be included in calculations of parkland or land that Travis County Parks owns or manages.
Service Area: Planned Service Area, or the radius from within which a majority of the visitors travel to the site. (See NRPA GIS Data Model Outline for more information)
Management Priority: Priority for managing the park resources. See NRPA GIS Data Model Outline for full list of definitions. Below are TNR's adaptation of NRPA's Active & Passive Park Management Priority types.
Active Park: Developed & primarily intended for programmed outdoor recreational uses; usually requires capital-intensive investments in site development and/or construction of special recreational facilities.
Passive Park: Developed & primarily intended for unprogrammed outdoor recreational uses; usually centered on land & water resources & only requires basic park facilities.
Planning/ Project Management Areas: Created & defined by TNR. Almost all are tied to river corridors or creek greenways, while all others are grouped into the final category, "Travis County Other". In cases where a tract/park falls along both a creek & a river, the creek takes precedence.
Colorado River Corridor: Parks lying along or w/in the vicinity of the Colorado River (East of Longhorn Dam)
Gilleland Creek Greenway: Parks lying along or w/in the vicinity of Gilleland Creek
Lake Austin: Parks lying along or w/in the vicinity of Lake Austin (East of Mansfield Dam & West of Longhorn Dam)
Lake Travis: Parks lying along or w/in the vicinity of Lake Travis (West of Mansfield Dam)

Pedernales River Corridor: Parks lying along or w/in the vicinity of the Pedernales River
Travis County Other: Parks that do NOT lay along any river or creek
