Cleveland's metro park system is one of the best in the nation.
Cuyahoga Nat'l Park is only 30 minutes from downtown. The bike and hiking trails are awesome. I know some people who work downtown that go to the parks on their lunch breaks.
Birmingham, Alabama. Only the downtown area and major shopping areas are treeless. So, basically, you'd look out and never guess that about a million people live there.
Forest Park in Portland is the largest forest within a city's limits. It's great for hiking and running and it's always nice and cool on hot summer days.
Don't forget about Sacramento. They claim to have more trees per capita than any other city in the world and they're planning on doubling their city tree canopy in the next 40 years. It's a beautiful leafy city.
I have to second (or third) Pittsburgh. I've lived in Atlanta and Seattle, and it seems like the greenest city I've lived in, outside of wintertime when it all turns brown.
I don't know of any other city with deer crossings in inner-city neighborhoods. I've lost count of how many times I've had to stop. I live two blocks from a park where I can guarantee a sighting of at least one at any time, and I usually see several. I think they even allow bow hunting in some parks during deer season.
