Interesting factoid... NYC almost 20% of its land area is park space,  Tulsa just over 6% is.

Strange...   They seem to have inflated NYC by almost 9k acres...   Maybe those are private parks.

They do have a lot of private parks. They also have state parks and other not-technically-a-park "park land".
