Project for Public Spaces | Great Parks We Can Learn From

Why do some parks succeed as lively public spaces while others fail? This is one of the questions people ask PPS most frequently, and we’re always encouraged by it. As more communities actively seek ways to create great parks, it seems inevitable that the quality of our parks will improve.
With the importance of parks growing in the public consciousness, now is the right time to revisit the question of what distinguishes great parks from all the rest. Of course, there’s no magic formula that yields a perfect park every time. But the true standouts, the parks that define the identities of their cities, tend to share certain elements that together explain a great deal of their success. The more great parks PPS observes, the more these elements leap out at us.
We offer here a list of six truly outstanding parks. Each example highlights particular strategies for achieving greatness and illustrates how these different strategies interact and enhance each other. As more Americans search for ways to improve their local parks, these are six parks we can all learn from.
