	WOOO!! Janesville is on here as a bonus! My hometown :)

	Brooklyn_Girl:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 08:36 GMT	4 points
	Well at least I got the park of the city I live in...

	The bonus answers on quizzes like these make absolutely no sense. Why would you randomly guess a city that's not listed up there, especially when it's a quiz where you have to answer each question one after the other in order? It lacks logical sense.

	Nice idea - thanks! Good combo of some you can figure out by the names and some you just have to know. I love going to parks when I travel to new cities -- great way to get mix with the locals and get a breath of fresh air.

	7/24 the first time out, which isn't anything to write home about, but I like the idea of identifying cities this way.

	American:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 08:41 GMT	2 points
	ahh 2/22. I need to go to more parks.

	Haunter:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 08:46 GMT	3 points
	nice quiz, I'm glad to see Seattle on here, Discovery Park is really nice.

	zalagreensbury:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 08:49 GMT	9 points
	After, I discovered Phoenix Park wasn't actually in Phoenix I just 'gave up' and figured then and there I don't know squat about parks.

	9/22. After central park, I had absolutely no clue, so I just guessed based on the language the park name was in

	weizenugb:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 09:12 GMT	-2 points
	This was a good idea for a quiz, but I don't understand the rationale for the cities that were chosen. I mean, are the parks of Pittsburgh really deserving enough to be on a short list of parks from about the world? It seems to me there could have been some better choices.

	This was hard for some of them. The frustrating part is I guessed 3 of the answers I missed, just not for the right entry.

	joshow:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 09:15 GMT	6 points
	8/22. Stanley park is one of the most stunning parks I've ever been to.

	zombifany:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 09:24 GMT	7 points
	When I saw Stanley park I just guessed some random Canadian city as a joke because I was reminded of the Stanley Cup and was pleasantly surprised when Vancouver was the correct answer

	adrenaline:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 10:08 GMT	5 points
	@zombifany: good guess, they're named after the same person.

	Scotto263:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 10:33 GMT	3 points
	Seeing as I suggested a few of these and read everyone else's suggestions in the facebook thread, i did pretty well. however the two Australian ones caught me off guard since I there were two "Royal Botanic Gardens" and there were three "Centennial Park" 's that were discussed. Also I was surprised that Boston was not on here because that place has ill parks and it was fun to see Gas Works Park on here that is all

	I saw 'Royal Botanical Gardens' and then wondered why I couldn't get Kew :P Skills.

	9/22. München should be accepted for Munich.

	GeordieGuitarist:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 12:17 GMT	5 points
	Gasworks park. Seattle really know how to romanticise a place. Can't they give it a nicer name?

	Kiribati:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 12:41 GMT	5 points
	Very proud, but more surprised that my hometown Cambridge, England is considered worth a mention!!!

	@Dodge: OK you're an idiot. There is a world outside of the US of A you know...

	milkmeister:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 13:15 GMT	0 points
	@weizenugb: It was based on the facebook discussion board entries, so obviously someone suggested Pittsburgh.

	milkmeister:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 13:16 GMT	1 point
	@peanut: Ah, but there IS a Kew in Melbourne...but it's not where the Royal Botanical Gardens are :-)

	Great combination of geography, language & trivia.

	I bet moviedynamic is loving those positive points for once

	brownowl:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 15:46 GMT	5 points
	Has anyone else got the song "Wind of Change" in their head now? Just me then...

	chambers:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 15:47 GMT	-4 points
	i knew some of them were in there (chicago, LA, mexico city etc) just couldn't be bothered to guess each one for each park. quality quiz though

	jc88:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 17:01 GMT	1 point
	Schenley Park made it, sweet. I only got 7, and 4 of those were guesses.

	BonesLover:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 17:19 GMT	3 points
	Schenely Park and Frick Park are really nice

	TIMTEBOW15:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 17:45 GMT	-1 points
	tampa should work for london because we have a hyde park and a regents park, but hyde park is just an town

	btroup1:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 17:45 GMT	3 points
	@Movie - "Why would you guess a city that isn't up there?" One may not know. Quite a few of these, I got because of the language. When I saw one that was Portugese, well let's just say that I started on the wrong continent. Then again, I might be misunderstanding your point. Nonetheless, I liked this one a lot. Quite a few cities on here that aren't standard geography fare.

	voljtw:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 17:49 GMT	0 points
	Good quiz. I got 9...3 (London, Chicago, and New York) cause I recognized the names, the other 6 by looking at the language being used and guessing every major city I could think of that spoke it.

	The context clues were enough for me to get 16. The idiot inside of me insisted on spelling Sydney as Sidney (sigh) and I thought about Vancouver but didn't type it in. Oh well, love the quiz and enjoy these sort of odd associations.

	@ milk, a little harsh on dodge, i dont think he meant it should be only USA parks, but its a natural assumption when many quizzes are USA specific, maybe titling this "major parks of the world" would have stopped any confusion

	GeoExpert:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 19:32 GMT	2 points
	Wow. Only four answers are above 50% in guessed right. Not even Chicago?

	karinaedge:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 20:06 GMT	0 points
	should have gotten the mexican parks... the european ones were pretty fun since they could be identified my language :)

	karinaedge:	Jun 24th, 2009 at 20:07 GMT	-1 points
	and lets go skating on lac des castors in parc mont royal! and let's go to laronde in parc jean drapeau, d'accord?
