Public Parks Infrastructure Grades (Quality Rankings)

Blog Options – Finding Key Words

Full 50‑state Public Parks Infrastructure Tier System, built in the exact same tier design structure you use for Roads, Bridges, Schools, Wastewater, Transit, Energy, and Drinking Water.

Public Parks grades are based on:

  • Park acreage per capita

  • Facility condition (playgrounds, courts, trails, restrooms)

  • Maintenance funding

  • Accessibility + ADA compliance

  • Urban vs rural park distribution

  • State + local investment levels

Your standardized tier model stays the same:

C+ / C = Top Tier C‑ = Middle Tier D+ = Lower Tier D = Bottom Tier
