The California Protected Areas Database (CPAD) is a GIS inventory of all parks and other open space lands that are owned in fee by agencies or nongovernmental groups for the purpose of maintaining their use as open space resources. CPAD includes neighborhood parks, wildlife refuges, regional and county parks and preserves, some land trust holdings, and state and federal parks, trust lands and forests – over 950 agencies own the 49 million acres of land in the CPAD inventory.
CPAD is maintained by GreenInfo Network, a nonprofit organization, and is the authoritative data set for all parks and other protected open space in California – however, CPAD is not a replacement for official data for any particular land-owning agency or organization.
The key focus of CPAD is land owned for the purpose of permanent open space use – CPAD is not the same as “land use” data which often does not distinguish between open space owned by agencies and private land owners.
More information at www.CALands.org
CPAD data is particularly useful for multi-jurisdictional planning or program work – county or regional general or land use plans, habitat conservation programs, energy and transportation facility siting, etc. It can also be used to assess the sufficiency of neighborhood parks, or to help guide people to parks and other recreational opportunities.
If your agency does not have GIS data of its parks and open space holdings, CPAD can provide a starting point. Contact us for more information: cpad @ calands.org.
CPAD is updated twice yearly and is mainly mapped to parcel boundaries. While the data in CPAD is very comprehensive, it will not always be current with most recent acquisitions (if you know of such changes you can upload them using the CPAD MapCollaborator).
