Denver Parks not so great after all

The Denver Post reported this morning that Denver ranks 17th in the nation in parks, but failed to link to the study providing this ranking. The study is here, and the rankings are below. No mention is made of the “purple pipe water” delivering toxins from a Superfund site (Lowry Landfill) to our parks mixed in with the recycled water for irrigation. Had that fact been included, we probably would have come in last, since no other city in the nation does this.
