DCR Park PropertiesThis is a list of DCR properties and their associated acreage, with data drawn from state GIS mapping. It includes DCR-owned parks, forests, beaches, playgrounds, pools, and rinks, flood control sites, and piers. Note: Some of the properties are operated by other parties, under agreements executed with DCR, and it is possible that properties for which ownership has recently transferred, either to or from DCR may be excluded from, or included in, this list, respectively.
