State Forest Recreation Assets With GPS Coordinates

State Forest recreation assets include toilets, viewing platforms, and picnic shelters. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning collected the data using Trimble Pro XR GPS units, with initial collection from December 2004 to August 2005. Assets are actively promoted and maintained.

Use Cases

• Map recreation asset locations using GPS coordinates for public visitor planning.
• Analyze the distribution of asset types like toilets and picnic shelters across State Forest sites.
• Manage maintenance schedules for assets recorded in the Recreation Facilities Database.

Strengths

• Data collection uses precise Trimble Pro XR GPS equipment for location accuracy.
• Dataset is actively maintained and promoted by a government department.
• Covers multiple asset types including toilets, viewing platforms, and picnic shelters.

Limitations

• Unknown total number of assets (rows) and specific attribute columns.
• Initial data collection period (2004-2005) may not reflect current asset counts.
• Geographic scope is limited to State Forest areas only.
