Open items, with their settlers

GAP-W7-P1: Scarbrough Park's establishment date and any naming record for its name — settlers, the town's minute books and the Park Board's records; the spelling conflict (department "Scarbrough" against directories' "Scarborough") rides with it. GAP-W7-P2: Place Park's acquisition — when, from whom, and at what price the town got its first ground — settler, the county deed record and the 1932-era town minutes. GAP-W7-P3: Urey Park's establishment or dedication date — attested under its full name by 1975 only — settler, the town paper's run and the town minutes. GAP-W7-P4: the Park Board's creation instrument and its membership as of November 2026 — the code carries only the council's enabling power at § 30.003, and no IC 36-10-3 establishment was found — settlers, the town's ordinance book and the Clerk-Treasurer's roster. GAP-W7-P5: the department's six-park inventory — four grounds confirmed, Washington Park (aggregator only) and Veterans Park (former town site, description only) as candidates — settler, the department's own published park list. GAP-W7-P6: Place Trail Marsh's classification — county park on an old aggregator against a DNR Gamebird Habitat Area in the state registers, absent from the county's current unit list, containment now settled in Lincoln Township — settlers, the DNR Division of Fish & Wildlife property file and the county parks board minutes. GAP-W7-P7: Spicer Lake's township (Liberty in the working frame against Olive on the state-hosted township page) — carried for the county build, Lincoln Township unaffected. Two negatives stand tested and print as findings, not gaps: no municipal swimming pool exists for Walkerton, Indiana on any layer searched, the splash pad being the water facility; and no fairground, driving park, picnic grove, or Chautauqua ground was found for the town or township in any openly reachable source.
