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.

Week of October 24-28th
On Saturday, October 22, 2011 I took my first trip to the Collins Park site.
For this visit I collected the following GPS coordinates:

Bench Areas: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
Bike Stand
Swing Sets: 1, 2, 3
Children Play Area (includes- swing set 2, slide, & sandbox)
Pavilion Area (includes 3 grills, 9 picnic tables)
Playground: 1,2,
Picnic Area: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Ropes Course Points: Start, 1, 2, 3, 4, End
Ropes Course Sitting Area
Volley Ball Net


The following week I proceded to plot these coordinates in excel, and begin the formulation of my map on ArcGIS.


Pictures will be up soon, with more information to come.
