Template:Metropolitan Park System of Greater Boston/doc

The Metropolitan Park System of Greater Boston navbox is provided as an aid to navigating several articles related to a system of reservations, parks, parkways and roads under the control of the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) in and around Boston that has been in existence for over a century. The list of reservations and parks herein is officially provided by the DCR as the Division of Urban Parks and Recreation at http://www.mass.gov/dcr/metroboston.htm. The title of the navbox is being used by the DCR to describe the areas collectively: "As a whole, the Metropolitan Park System is currently eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.", as outlined at http://www.mass.gov/dcr/uphistory.htm.

Usage

This navbox is for use on the pages that are linked within it. For normal use, the navbox is entered into an article with {{Metropolitan Park System of Greater Boston}}. The default state of the navbox is "autocollapse" which means it will be collapsed in the presence of other navboxes stacked at the bottom of the page and shown full size when by itself. To hide this navbox when it is on a page by itself, a single parameter is included, entered as: {{Metropolitan Park System of Greater Boston|hide}}.
