Welcome to my blog! This will be a collection of my progress for the William K. Collins Park GIS mapping project. It is my goal to create a clear, visually compelling map, highlighting some of the major features within this area. This map is to serve as an interpretation of the surrounding features to the public, and act as a tool for the Town of Clifton Park when making land management decisions.

This map gives you a basic idea of the area I am working with and some of the points I have plotted so far.
Your map looks great so far, I like how the legend clearly depicts each item. Maybe just make them a little larger so they will be clearer to see. Also a boundary showing the perimeter of the park can be helpful to those looking at the map.
The map is looking good. Are you thinking of maybe putting some symbols for the individual points to better visualize what they are? (ie bathrooms, benches, water fountains, etc)
I agree with Jen a boundary line for the property would be good. I think Dr. Meierdiercks has a taxonomic parcel feature class somewhere that you could use. When you start doing the symbology for the layers you can add more types of symbols that might work for you, like the "Environmental" instead of just having the "ESRI" symbology
