how to find the date of a place you want to hunt

Zillow is very useful for metal detecting. It is a website used to find homes for sale, but it will also tell you the date of when almost any house was built. To find the date of a park, you have to type in the address of a house near the park you want to hunt. the park's address wont work because the park will never be for sale. on the map, click on houses near the park to find the date of the houses. This will tell you the date of when the park was made, but you have to find multiple dates because some houses might have been built recently.
 
Hey thanks man!:clapping:I saved that to my favorites.:thumbup:It looks like a great resource! I usually look up the county's appraisal district info, but this looks cool! Several different municipalities have links to their parks department that shows when the park was commissioned. Thanks for the info!:biggrin: Happy Hunting!:)
 
Also remember this, many parks were donated land that were former homesites, so there may be more there than first meets the eye. HH
 
Sorry to say that from my days as a Code Enforcement Manager for a fairly large city, that won't always work. When a City is platted, usually so many acres are set aside for recreational use such as parks, etc. Then there is donated land that may sit vacant for decades before a park is put there. Ditto any of the platted land. Of course some of the park or recreation land is used as the town develops and that might be the case like you have cited. But I live very close to 3 parks, all built within the last ten years, but I have live in my house over 30 years! Before the park property was just pasture land. But in the older parts of some cities your idea about park land probably has merit. Onus
