Arlington County has dropped to fifth place in the national "ParkScore" rankings, with Washington DC retaining its top spot for the third consecutive year. The rankings evaluate park systems in the 100 largest US cities based on factors such as park access, equity, acreage, investment, and amenities. The Trust for Public Land, which releases the rankings, noted that Arlington's drop was due to the opening of new parks in Irvine and Minneapolis. The report also highlighted the correlation between high ParkScore rankings and better community health outcomes.
