Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>These data are used to display the public recreational facilities at all Colorado Parks and Wildlife owned properties. The original intent of these data were to show facilities at a park level scale. Over time, this has evolved to be a more comprehensive collection of all recreation facilities - as GIS technology has advanced to allow improved labelling / display of features. Data is being compiled at CPW Area offices in consultation with local Property Technicians and Field Ops staff using high resolution aerial photography (NAIP05, NAIP09) as a reference and at a scale where structures could be visually identified by Chris Johnson. These data were originally combined from individual park shapefiles in 2010 by Bill Gaertner, under the direction of Matt Schulz, Parks GIS Coordinator. Since then, Eric Drummond, temp Trails GIS Specialist, vastly improved upon the ability to use a unique CPW font and the Maplex label engine to have dynamic labelling of standard recreation facility symbols. </SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This data set provides four feature classes. The base feature class is called Places_pl and isn't generalized. The weighted centroids feature class is called Places_pl_cent. The centroids are weighted by the U.S. Block Centroids population distribution. Use the weighted centroids in report aggregation and spatial overlay operations. The Places_pl and Places_pl_cent feature classes contain all the attributes. There are two generalized boundaries feature classes and called: Places_pl_gen2, and Places_pl_gen3. Use the generalized boundaries when creating study areas.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
