Municipal Authority over Certain Land

A municipality has had full police power and control (authority) over land that it acquires outside its municipal limits for use as parks, parkways, boulevards, or roads. The act extends this authority to land that a municipality acquires for open space and natural areas and clarifies that this authority extends to all such acquired land whether or not it is open or closed to the public. The act exempts from this authority acquired land that is within the exterior boundaries of an Indian reservation.
