Interactive Maps and Location Services

Our website includes interactive maps to help visitors explore trails, park features, and amenities. These maps may be powered by open-source mapping technology and may use third-party map tile providers.

Some map features may request access to your device’s location through browser-based geolocation services.

If you choose to allow location access:

• Your browser may provide your approximate location to the map interface

• Dugas Community Park does not store or track your real-time location

Location sharing is optional and can be disabled through your device or browser settings at any time.

Because GPS and mapping technology may contain inaccuracies, map features are provided for general orientation purposes only and should not be relied upon as precise navigation tools.
