This table describes all parameters which can be used in build park infobox. Only the name parameter must be assigned a value.
Field name
Description
name
Required. The name of the park. It will be displayed at the top of the infobox. In most cases this should be the same as the article name less any disambiguation. For example, if the article title is Hyde Park, London then name=Hyde Park.
alt_name
If there is a common English name for the park use it for the name parameter. This parameter can be used to display the full name if different from name or for an alternate English name if it is commonly used. If you would like to italicize the text use wiki markup.
native_name
name in local language. If more than one, separate using {{plainlist}}.
native_name_lang
ISO 639-2 code e.g. "fr" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} instead.
image photo
The name of an image file to be displayed. No special formatting is needed.
image_size photo_width
Can be used to change the display width of the image. The default width is 240 pixels and maximum is 325 pixels. Images with a horizontal orientation (landscape mode) will generally display well at the default setting. An image with vertical orientation (portrait mode) may need to be adjusted to 180 pixels or less. For example, image_size=200 and not image_size=200px. This template allows image_size=frameless. See Photo display parameters below.
image_alt photo_alt
Alternative text for the image, for visually impaired readers. See WP:ALT.
image_caption photo_caption
The caption that will appear below the image if one is required.
The file name of a static map image to be displayed. To use a location map, use |map=.
map_width
Can change the display width the map. The default width is 240 pixels and maximum is 272 pixels, but usually the map can be smaller. For example, map_width=200 and not map_width=200px.
The caption that appears below the map if one is required.
label
A text message that will be displayed next to the mark. Works with label_position below. Seldom used.
label_position
Specifies the position of a label with respect to the mark. This is not functional when using the pixel coordinates method for map display. Valid values are left, right, top and bottom. See label above.
relief
Selects a relief map when assigned any value. This is not functional when using the pixel coordinates method for map display. See Map display methods.
The location of the park. Don't be too precise. County, state and country are good in the USA. If the park is within a city specify the city, state and country. If the park is in multiple counties just list the state and country. For areas in other countries adjust accordingly.
motto
nearest_city nearest_town
Recommended if the area is not within a city or town. It could be a city with a major airport or a large gateway town where supplies and lodging are available. Use the most appropriate parameter.
Coordinates-related parameters
grid_ref_UK
If the park is in Great Britain, the British grid reference. For parks outside of Great Britain, this field is not applicable and therefore should be removed if it is present.
grid_ref_UK_note
If grid_ref_UK is used, this will add a note (e.g., for a reference) immediately after.
grid_ref_Ireland
If the park is in Ireland (whether Northern Ireland or the Republic), the Irish grid reference. For parks outside Ireland, this field is not applicable and therefore should be removed if it is present.
grid_ref_UK_Ireland
If grid_ref_Ireland is used, this will add a note (e.g., for a reference) immediately after.
coordinates
For the {{coord}} template. The parameters |format=dms and |display=inline,title are recommended. Its coordinates can be used with the location map. (Unless a value for type: is provided, the template will automatically use type:landmark. See the {{Coord}} page for more info.)
coords_ref
Strongly recommended. Specify a citation for the coordinates using <ref>...</ref> tags.
Other parameters
area
Area of the protected park. Usually in acres or square miles for US locations and hectares or square kilometres elsewhere. The {{convert}} template should be used. Very small areas might be specified in square feet, square yards or square metres.
elevation
Elevation of the park if it is noteworthy. The {{convert}} template should be used.
authorized created established designated opened opening
The date the park was created. See below. Use {{start date}}. For example, for Yosemite National Park, use {{start date|1890|10|1}}.
closed
The date of closure or disestablishment, if applicable.
founder
The person who founded the park or garden.
designer
The person who designed the park or garden.
etymology
The etymology of parks name. Should be very brief or only included in the text of the article.

visitation_num
The number of visitors in a recent year if known.
visitation_year
The year during which the number of visitors was counted.

Image display parameters
The parameters image_size or photo_width allow several options:
Option
Description
image_size= photo_width=
If no value is assigned, the image will display with a width of 240 pixels.
image_size=<n> photo_width=<n>
Where n is any numeric value, the image will display with a width of n pixels. The maximum width is 325 pixels.
image_size=frameless photo_width=frameless
The image will display with a default width of 220 pixels, however, if a user is logged in, they can change this value here. If this option is used, the upright parameter is made available. For example, |image_size=frameless|upright=1.2 will cause the image to display with a width of (220 * 1.2) or 264 pixels. More information about this parameter can be found here.
image_size=upright photo_width=upright
The image will display with a default width of 170px. This is equivalent to [[File:Example.jpg|frameless|upright]] using wiki image syntax. More information about the upright option can be found here.
Alternate parameters
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.
Nearest city or town:
nearest_city → Nearest city
nearest_town → Nearest town
To display the date the park was created use the most appropriate parameter below:
authorized → Authorized
created → Created
designated → Designated
established → Established
opened → Opened
opening → Opening
To display the name of the entity which manages the park use the most appropriate parameter below:

Map display methods
Any image of a map showing the location of the park can be used.
Display a marker on a map using a template and geographic coordinates
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:
List of templates – Many of the listed items are redirects and a few templates may not function as expected.
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.
This template can be embedding in another infobox template by adding the code |child=yes. To embed another template in this one use |embedded={{Infobox ....
