Up until about fifteen minutes ago I was impressed with the size of many of Seattle’s parks. Now my bubble has been burst.

Discovery is Seattle’s largest park with over 500 acres. Now I’ve discovered that several Discovery Parks would fit into the largest city parks around the US. Seattle has about 6,200 acres of parkland in total. Imagine my surprise when I read that there are single city parks with almost as much or more acreage.

If you’d like to see the list go to this post at the City Parks blog.
