I'm starting this discussion here, in response to a question Dharmabum420 had on Talk:Stanley Park. Research is likely to result in a list of the largest urban parks, which probably belongs in this article. I started to research this and quickly found that definitions of "urban park" vary and so do claims of "largest", "second largest", etc.
Here are contenders and claims I've found so far::)))))
If the definition of urban park is to be within city limits, I'm having difficulty determining the status of Rouge Park. I've started a table of the other entries in the article. All this information should be confirmed by other soures, but hopefully this is a start. -- Ds13 17:23, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
The result of the debate was no consensus. — Nightst a llion (?) 09:00, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Should this page in fact be at municipal park as it's more commenly known as such? Zhatt 22:34, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
A paragraph was added by Willow4 that has some interesting content, but I'm not sure it's encyclopedic. I think it's quite POV, if nothing else. A couple of examples:
Suggestions for salvaging the encyclopedic/non-POV content from this paragraph? Alternatively, maybe Willow4 can attribute these claims to a primary source? -- Ds13 06:41, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
Removed the list of large North American parks as it isn't relevant on this page; apart from the Canadian ones, they should be moved to List of municipal parks in the United States, and the Canadian ones to a new page of their own. Content is below, in <!--hide--> tags. - MPF 09:19, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Deleted the reference to Manchester Philips Park as it was built in 1846 ( http://www.manchester.gov.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?categoryID=200073&documentID=1812&pageNumber=4) whilst the Derby Arboreum was built in 1840 ( http://www.derbyarboretum.co.uk/Intropage.htm) and claims to be Englands first public park. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rjm ( talk • contribs) 19:09, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
Balboa park in San Deigo (mentioned earlier in the article)is larger than many of the parks on this list, but is not included. What gives? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.6.184.134 ( talk) 00:19, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
According to the article, the largest urban park is in Portugal, but the data from the table is inconsistent with this information. According to the table, it should be in Madrid, Spain. 85.48.152.38 ( talk) 20:38, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
