Community & Recreation

About the viewer

The Community & Recreation map comprises of the participating Waikato Councils community and recreational spatial data merged in to a single layer e.g. Parks & Reserves covering all the participating councils.

The data was sourced from the Councils by using the existing Waikato Data Portal as the main data source.  In some cases data was supplied manually to the build team. 

The spatial data was merged to as a one off for now.

Summary: Parks and Reserves polygon assets.

This Parks and Reserves dataset contains polygon assets such as parks and reserves.

The GIS dataset is synchronised with asset data contained in Council’s Asset Management system.

New information is entered by surveyed coordinates where these are available. Unsurveyed or historic assets were entered using dimensions from boundaries and/or existing assets. Unsurveyed and historic assets may have an accuracy in the order of +/- 10m, although it is hoped that it would generally be better than this.

Waikato OneView does not make any representation or give any warranty as to the accuracy or exhaustiveness of the data released for public download. Locations and dimensions of assets depicted in the data may not be accurate due to circumstances not notified to Council.

While you are free to crop, export and re-purpose the data, we ask that you attribute the Waikato OneView and clearly state that your work is a derivative and not the authoritative data source.
