Denver’s bounty of large, well-funded, close-to-home parks earned it seventh place in The Trust for Public Land’s annual ParkScore ranking, climbing from 17th in last year’s index. The rankings, released Thursday, scored the park systems in 60 U.S. cities.
The trust’s park analysts weigh park access and the percentage of residents within a 10-minute walk of a park, as well as park size and the amount of city acreage dedicated to parks.
