South Mountain Park is a City park.Planetary Chaos 17:39, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • The part at the top says it is the second largest "urban park" which is true, even though it is the largest city park. We can try to make it more clear, but the previous versions simply made it wrong. Wikibofh(talk) 21:07, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is correct. But it is a state park, not a city park. So it is the largest urban which is why we say SM is the second largest urban, but it is not the largest city park, which SM is and Franklin is not? Are we saying the same thing here? Wikibofh(talk) 21:19, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ranking of size

[edit]

The statistics for ranking of park size changes frequently, thanks to ongoing efforts at municipal park creation.

The Center for Trust for Public Land is the authoritative guide to muncipal, state, and other parks nationwide.

A reference has been placed at the beginning of the article that is current and is updated frequently. (cf. http://www.tpl.org/content_documents/ccpe_100LargestCityParks.pdf

All incorrect statistics on the page have been removed.

South Mountain Park remains the largest municipally-owned park, but not the largest municipally-adjacent park.

Since municipally-adjacent parks are available for the recreation of municipal residents, no matter who owns the land, it is still an urban (municipal) park.
