This Infobox template can be used in articles about parks, gardens and nature reserves.
This template provides many options. A very functional infobox can be created using the most commonly used parameters below.
This table describes all parameters which can be used in build park infobox. Only the name
parameter must be assigned a value.
The parameters image_size
or photo_width
allow several options:
A few cells allow alternate parameter names which can be used to generate an appropriate label. Editors should probably not be overly concerned with using the correct label unless using the wrong label would be a blatant error.

Any image of a map showing the location of the park can be used.
A marker can be superimposed on a map using one of a set of special map templates. To display a marker, the geographic coordinates must be specified using the {{Coord}} template inside the |coordinates=
parameter. See the documentation for {{Location map}}. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters used by {{Location map}}. A map template can be found using these sources:
All of the names begin with the words "Location map" followed by the area covered. The value you need to specify is the area name. The map template for Canada is Location map/data/Canada. In this case specify |map=Canada
.
{{Infobox park|| name = Four Corners, Canada| map = Canada| map_caption = Example using geographic coordinates| coordinates = {{coord|60|N|102|W|display=inline <!-- for documentation page only - not general practice --> }}}}
By default, {{Coord}} displays in the infobox only in the page title. Parameter |display=inline,title
can be added to make the coordinates display at the top of the page as well.

– switch between "zoomed in"/"zoomed midway"/"zoomed out", where "zoomed in" is the default zoom (with a minimum of 3
