Trust for Public Land developed the ParkScore® index to assess how well cities are meeting the need for parks. Cities are awarded points based on an analysis of four important characteristics of an effective park system: acreage, investment, amenities, and access. Cities can earn a maximum ParkScore rating of 100.
