NYC definitely isn't, because it's not like other cities, there's no suburbs. Just buildings on & on. Except for central park, there's not really trees, except the ones on the sidewalk.

How about Prospect Park, Forest Park, Flushing Meadows, Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, Pelham Bay Park? All within the city limits.

I have a feeling Townrater is just talking about Manhattan. I think I saw on another thread that he is from northern New Jersey so I am sure he knows that the five boroughs have suburbs and a large park system. After all he lives in a NYC suburb!

Anyway even Manhattan has other parks (especially Upper Manhattan). And I could be wrong but I think NYC has the most parkland of the cities on the list and I believe one of the largest by percentage of land area.
