Best urban green spaces in North America

from USA Today

Nashville made the list for best urban green spaces in North America!

After the city’s May 2010 flood, green infrastructure has become a top priority, and follows a prior commitment to add 22,000 acres of open green space to the city over the next 25 years. Shelby Bottoms Greenway and Nature Park in East Nashville got a boost with its bottomland hardwood forests, open fields, wetlands and streams. Nearby, The Silly Goose serves stellar locally-sourced sandwiches. Visit one of the city’s more unique sights – the life-size replica of the Parthenon – at Centennial Park. And hikers flock to the scenic 1,200-acre Radnor Lake State Park, home to an ecologically diverse number of wildlife habitats.
