Parks and Facilities

The Parks and Facilities content type is used to create a filterable directory of parks and other community facilities within the City. This includes a field for park amenities that allows the view to be filtered, as well as a field for type. This includes fields for Latitude/Longitude that allow the Parks and Facilities to appear on a map, as well as a field to provide the address.
