BOSTON—The dark green represents parkland; the light green represents areas of the city serviced by said parkland; and you don't wanna know what the orange means. It all comes from a new ranking by the Trust for Public Land: "The organization took America's 50 largest cities, and evaluated their parks using criteria like accessibility, size, and city investment and amenities. Boston tied with Sacramento and San Francisco for third place, bested only by Minneapolis and New York City." [Daily]
