Find all parks for a given zipcode with google maps?

The Google geocoder API doesn't have a provision for specifying a "type" such as "park" in the query. It will identify the feature type in the response, but you can't put it in the the request.

I haven't tried it. You still can't specify a type in the request, but you specify a location and radius, and it returns all places, and each place has one or more associated type codes (which might include park). You can search through the returned results to see if parks appear.

See code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/....

Thanks, as mentioned above I signed up for a places API key. I'd just think that by now there is SOMETHING that would allow me to search for parks in a zip code. – BandonRandon Apr 22 at 19:42 Really as sad as it is I think this is the answer, you can't.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
