How to add a park to the TC database

We use our park information for two purposes: display to the public, and reference from our internal trail information database.

Public parks

The public information about parks is managed by Amber Ray. Contact if you want to help describe a new park that is not in the database, or make changes to one that is in the database. People with Hike Submitter permission may create parks.

Internal Trail Information

The internal trail information is managed by the RPCs and the trail database maintainers. People with Hike Submitter permission may create parks.

You must fill out the fields makred with * in this table with the values below; other fields are optional. Some of fields are depricated. Some are too complicated to easily explain how to fill in, so leave them empty.
