What? There are so many different types of parks. Skate parks, dog parks, theme parks, playgrounds, state parks, national parks, just green space... What are you trying to ask for?

And your Grant Park video is the same as your Centennial video.

This is but one example of a thread and a VERY specific question that's only intended to have one resulting answer.

I voted Austin. I've been to some really cool parks there. Houston has nice parks (Hermann Park and Memorial Park) but I still like the parks in Austin more. As for the other cities on the list I've never been to their parks.

I thought ask what are the 3 most popular parks in your city and which group of parks in which city are the best.Regardless of what they are.I gave 3 example of what type of parks too.Im not sure whats confusing.

Winston-Salem/Greensboro...

Tanglewood Park Tanglewood Park
Guilford Courthouse National Military Park Guilford Courthouse National Military Park (U.S. National Park Service)
Hanging Rock State Park N.C. Division of Parks and Recreation: - Welcome to Hanging Rock State Park

I would also consider Chastain Park, the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, and Calloway Gardens for a couple of Atlanta's best.

Neither do we - sorry.

This topic is far too specific and pointed and it's generating DMs already from folks who are confused about it. If you want to do a thread about the best parks in a city, fine - but the best group of 3 parks? Confusing.

Posts and videos so far will be left up for folks to look at, but you'll need to rethink it and redo one that's more broad.
