Dout!!!! I didn't find parks in the set.... :( But i did see a good page from geogratis that shows a breakdown of all the types of data that's worth looking at. http://ess.nrcan.gc.ca/mapcar/index_e.php
I have all the things that go in a park, campgrounds, lookouts, picknick areas.... it says at the bottom under themes Theme Keyword: Earth Science > Land Surface > Land Use/Land Cover So it got to be there somewhere.... investigating.
