For the parks, I would say worst case scenario is just add them as nodes. That's how a lot of parks were originally imported from GNIS anyway. If you can trace approximate outlines from Bing, so much the better. One option for possible boundary data in Washington is the department of ecology. Their terms of use seem pretty open (they require attribution). I tried to ask them about county boundaries a couple of days ago and was told that this data actually comes from another department and would have to ask them. So I just used TIGER data to license clean the county borders yesterday. But they might have other information on parks and such if you can get permission to use it. As for the non-responder, I assume you are talking about Sunny? I'm Pretty sure there is no chance of contacting him. Based on my searches I believe he(?) is from China and spent a few years here in the US. When he returned to China in 2009 he completely dropped off the internet. Anyone know if OSM is blocked by the great firewall?
