Spanish term or phrase: paños de terreno
I'm translating an article about the need for turning some lands into national parks, and I came along this sentence: "La fundación X busca convertir esos paños de terreno en un parque nacional". I guess "paños de terreno" means plots of land or something of the sort, but I'm really not sure.

Explanation:
Yes, plot of land seems right. If you Google image search the term, you get lots of images of plots of land from aerial photography.

Reference information:
Yes, you're right, or you may want to qualify and say "small plot...". The last link refers to a plot of land for an appropriate purpose, so I think "plot of land" will suffice. Perhaps the choice of wording in this case is because you have agricultural lands now being turned into a national park.
