## What it is

This dataset lists public art located in Chicago parks. Each record identifies a park, artwork title, artist, owner, and location information.

The local CSV fields are:

- `PARK NAME`
- `PARK NUMBER`
- `ART`
- `ARTIST`
- `OWNER`
- `X COORDINATE`
- `Y COORDINATE`
- `LATITUDE`
- `LONGITUDE`
- `LOCATION`

## Notes for static website use

- The file is very small and safe to include directly in a static build.
- It is suitable for a map, park-by-park artwork directory, or searchable public-art list.
- Use `LATITUDE` and `LONGITUDE` for web maps. The `X COORDINATE` and `Y COORDINATE` fields are projected coordinates and are less convenient for browser mapping.
- Some artwork or artist names may need standard text escaping in HTML output.
- The CSV was downloaded as-is from the source. No filtering, sorting, or transformations were applied.
