I’m talking about a massive park in the absolute heart of the city. Located such that is naturally surrounded by city high rises. *People are giving examples of parks that are way off in the boonies. I’m trying to say located centrally, heart of the city, you know where the high rises are. Yes I understand nyc has more, the point is centrally located.

Copied by younger cities in North Americ. You know, the cities younger than NYC that could have seen the value of setting aside a large area for parkland before it was developed.

    Well, most of them had no thriving black community in the middle of the town that they could raze to create a park.

      Don’t they use prison labour to maintain it? And mislead volunteers to get free labour to keep upping the rent in the neighborhoods.
