While the Mother City was awarded a good average review score for its parks (4.4 out of 5), it’s the number of people to parks ratio that sent its overall rating plummeting.
According to the data, Cape Town has 14 parks and a population of 4,709,990, which means there are 336,428 people per park.Despite these findings, nature enthusiasts need not panic. The findings only looked at public parks, ignoring nature reserves and wilderness areas both in Cape Town and within easy reach of the city.
Taking into consideration the full range of options available to Capetonians, there is plenty of outdoor space to go around for everyone.Lima, Peru, topped the list of the 25 cities with the worst scores. It was the only locale to rank lower than Cape Town.
