ParkScore recently released their annual rankings and Seattle came in at number nine. Seattle’s score is 71.5 out of 100, which looks low until you see that Minneapolis as the #1 ranked city has a score of only 84. We received four out of a possible five park benches. There’s some room for improvement, but still, not bad for the 20th largest city in the country!
ParkScore is a project of The Trust for Public Land, and the ParkScore index measures how well the 75 largest U.S. cities are meeting the need for parks.
