The Trust for Public Land has released its annual ParkScore list.
The criteria:
-Percentage of residents who live within a 10-minute walk of a park
-Percentage of city land dedicated to parks and recreation
-Park amenities
-City investment in its parks
Among the top 10 are Chicago at #10 and San Francisco at #8. Minneapolis scored the best.
New York City is #11.
The biggest city down the street from me, Los Angeles, is at #49. Why? Well...
In the City of LA, only 62% of residents live within a 10-minute walk to a park, and only 13% of city land is dedicated to parks and recreation.
