NPS shapefile

How do I retrieve the actual latitudes and longitudes on a National Park Service shapefile?

The shapefile contains x and y, which gives the leftbc, rightbc, bottombc, and topbc but not
the actual latitudes/longitudes.

Below I include a segment from my NCL script, a dump of the shapefile, and internet links
with sites to download the shapefile and get into on its dimensions/projection (Universal Transverse Mercator).

Thanks,
Michael

NCL CODE SEGMENT:
f=addfile("park_boundary.shp","r")
segments = f->segments
geometry = f->geometry
segsDims = dimsizes(segments)
geomDims = dimsizes(geometry)
geom_segIndex = f@geom_segIndex
geom_numSegs = f@geom_numSegs
segs_xyzIndex = f@segs_xyzIndex
segs_numPnts = f@segs_numPnts
lines = new(segsDims(0),graphic)
numFeatures = geomDims(0)
lon = f->x
lat = f->y
