GET /api/parks
GET /api/parks/{id}

PUT /api/parks/{id}
DELETE /api/parks/{id}

This project also has an additional endpoint to find and return a random park from the database

GET /api/parks/?location=oregon

This project utilizes full swagger documentation that can be found here: https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/colchapm/ParksApi/0.1

No known bugs at this time

• Eventually have all National and State parks included in the database
• Create an MVC application that interacts with the API
