ParkScore ratings are based equally on three factors: Park access, which measures the percentage of residents living within a 10-minute walk of a park (approximately 1/2-mile); Park size, which is based on a city's median park size and the percentage of total city area dedicated to parks; and Services and investment, which combines the number of playgrounds per 10,000 city residents and per capita park spending.

Pretty nice to be tied for 11th among the 50 largest *cities* they didn't not go by metro area so some cities like St Louis, Cincinnati, etc are excluded. I did notice that the sunks in Dundee wasn't included in their parks which made me wonder if that is city or private property and what it would mean for it to be labelled as a "City Park". In general what separates city owned grass lots from parks?
