    The ParkScore rating for a city is determined by assigning points across five categories (acreage, investment, amenities, access, and equity) based on how the city compares to the 100 largest U.S. cities. Points are awarded on a relative basis within each category, and a city’s total points, out of a maximum of 500, are normalized to a ParkScore rating of up to 100.
