| Stearns Park |
Did you know that Long Beach parks rate as the 22nd best among the 50 largest cities in the United States? Park size and access are among the reasons for such a favorable review. According to the Trust for Public Land, 78 percent of Long Beach residents live with a 10-minute walk of a park (the national average is 64 percent). Long Beach spends more ($125) than the national average per resident. The city has more than 3,100 acres for recreation, equivalent to 9.7 percent of the city's 50 square miles.
