Schema

Each record contains:

  • id, name, url, kind, address, city, state, postalCode — identity + location
  • geo / lat, lng — WGS-84 coordinates (3,303 records geocoded)
  • acres, trailMiles, leashRequired — physical + policy
  • rating, reviewCount — visitor signal
  • vibeScore — proprietary 0-10 dog-experience score (see /park-of-the-week)
  • amenities.{shade,water,fenced,offLeash,smallDogArea,benches,restrooms,parking,dogBags,indoor} — booleans
  • photoUrl — Wikimedia Commons or stock (465 records have photos)
  • dogPolicy — short prose summary

Methodology

Records are aggregated from public sources (Google Maps, government park databases, official park websites, OpenStreetMap, US National Park Service) and enriched with Wikimedia Commons photos. Amenity flags are LLM-extracted from visitor reviews + park descriptions and verified against first-party park websites where available. Vibe Score is computed from rating + amenity count + log-scaled space + kind weighting (see full methodology).
