Created by GreenInfo Network, ParkInfo's development is primarily supported by the following organizations:

• GreenInfo Network (site developer and data manager)
• Bay Area Open Space Council
• California Council of Land Trusts
• Southern California Open Space Council

The Council's implementation of ParkInfo.org features the Bay Area Protected Lands Database, which was jointly created by the Bay Area Open Space Council and GreenInfo Network. This GIS database covers the nine county San Francisco Bay Area, including lands protected primarily as open space by an ownership interest of a governmental agency or non-profit organization (fee or easement). The most current release of the database (May 2006) contains lands at all scales –from neighborhood tot lots to national parks.  Data may not be exactly current for any particular agency, depending on their responsiveness to our surveys.

In general, ParkInfo contains all lands whose use is primarily for open space and recreation, that are owned by a public agency or non-profit land trust, and that are fully open to the public or where use is allowed by acquiring a special permit from the owning agency or organization. ParkInfo does not necessarily include sites such as recreation buildings or other non-open space recreation sites. It also does not include private golf courses or other privately owned open space lands.

The statewide ParkInfo.org Web site can also be used for searches outside the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area.
