This subseries includes information on over 20 properties that were once administered by the Department of Parks and Recreation and either have been placed under the jurisdiction of another City agency or are no longer owned by the City. An example of the former is the Mercer Playfield property, which is now under the jurisdiction of the Seattle Center.

Records in these files include correspondence, excerpts of annual reports, maps and drawings, copies of legislation, newspaper clippings, petitions, reports, and Don Sherwood's notes and essays (photocopies).
