PARD’s Long Range Plan for Land, Facilities and Programs, Our Parks, Our Future (adopted November 2019) compared Austin’s park system to five peer cities: Atlanta, GA, Dallas, TX, Portland, OR, San Antonio, TX, and San Diego, CA. The peer cities were selected based on characteristics such as population, size, density, and governance type. Portland and San Diego were selected as aspirational cities known for their park systems. Note that the table below presents each scoring area’s 1 to 100 index, where 100 is the highest possible score.
