Twin Cities Parks Rank High Nationally, But Equity Concerns Persist
TL;DR
The Twin Cities' park systems have been ranked second and third in the nation, according to the Trust for Public Land's annual ParkScore rankings. While both cities scored high on access, investment, and amenities, equity remains an issue, with neighborhoods predominantly identifying as people of color having less park space than majority white neighborhoods. Parks representatives from both cities celebrated the rankings while acknowledging the work to be done to achieve equitable access to parkland and amenities within the cities.
