Spatial data for parks and public recreation centers in Baltimore City from the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks. A few names have been updated to use common names or recent new official names so the package version may not match the city data in all cases. The parks have been matched to corresponding entities on OpenStreetMap indicated by the osm_id column.
