Where programming happens

22 of 316 parks have recurring programming

A park counts when a facility inside it offered at least one registerable program, or the City's calendar lists an event series with two or more dates there. “Programs” are distinct titles; “sections” are the catalog's individual records — one swim level at one time slot for one week is one section.

The other 294 parks show nothing in either record. 154 of them are developed parks — the ones a program could use. The rest are natural areas (70), community gardens (34), properties awaiting classification (14), public gardens (6), golf courses and raceways (6), facility sites (5), maintenance yards (5). Some are served by a facility that sits just outside a park boundary (listed below).

What this can and can't say

Programs attach to a park only when the venue clearly sits within it, so parks served by a nearby center can read as having none. The program record begins with the first catalog snapshot and grows weekly; the events record is the current public calendar. Neither is attendance.
