   the waterfront of your city is fabulous, that sunset picture is awesome too.

   Sure someone can find a better aerial, but don’t think we can overlook the Capitol Mall…

   Millenium Park, Chicago is the best designed and used urban park. No doubt.

    Hi Eva, thanks for commenting.

    Chicago Millenium is an awesome park. I love the Pedestrian Bridge.

    Paulo:

    Living with a # of interesting urban parks in Victoria, BC, and with all due respect to Madam Buchart who took her family’s worked out quarry and made it into a “wonderful grand” year round tourist attraction, I would not even have considered it as top of mind. It’s a magnificent garden. It’s not urban, it’s a suburban tourist attraction of the finest kind. However, it’s only accessible to those willing to pay an entrance fee year round.

    Tim, I agree with you that is a private property, but it so awesome! I will update the post with your correction. Thanks!

    Buffalo Bayou Promenade? Perhaps it is a very wonderful space not done justice by the photograph. From the photo, it appears “Freeway Promenade” would be a more appropriate name.

    Since there are already some places mentioned that are not totally open to free public access, I would add the gardens of the Alcazar in Seville, Spain, to the list. Here’s a link to some photos (not just of the gardens, but also elsewhere in Seville):

    Hi Archmichael,

    I wanted to show the freeway to make it clear to people that unused spaces can become a great attraction.

    Thanks for the suggestion about Alcazar in Seville, I will definitely talk about this park in my next posts, it is awesome!

    Thanks a lot and welcome to my blog, please comment in another posts if you like it.
