It seems every day there is a new study that ranks the states on a topic that places Texas at or near the top. However, recently a new study has ranked no Texas cities in the top 10 for best park systems in the country.
The nonprofit Trust for Public Land recently unveiled their 2022 ParkScore rankings of the best park systems in the country. To determine the rankings, they looked at factors such as acreage, investment, amenities, access, and equity. Sadly, those categories didn’t work out too well for Texas, as the highest ranked city on the list was Plano at number 15.
