01 Bigger Is Better
Balboa Park
SAN DIEGO
This California park is bigger than New York's Central Park and Chicago's Millennium Park combined. It is home to 65 miles of trails, six museums and the San Diego Zoo on 1,200 acres of land. Visitors can climb 125 steps to the top of the California Tower to get a unique view of the city. Tickets are required to visit some attractions.
02 Treasure From Tragedy
Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA
In 1983, a fire destroyed the abandoned former home of 50 monks from the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance. The provincial government stepped in to save what was left, turning the area into a park that now contains the St. Norbert Arts Centre, gardens, a greenhouse and the World Peace Pagoda. Monastery structures are now home to annual Shakespeare in the Ruins performances.
03 Urban Oasis
The High Line
NEW YORK CITY
On the west side of Manhattan is a combination elevated linear park, greenway and trail created from a disused spur of the New York Central Railroad. It runs 1.45 miles from the Hudson Yards development to the city's Meatpacking District, winding by Chelsea Market, over traffic and near historic buildings.
04 Exaggerated Dimension
Plaza Botero
MEDELLÍN, COLOMBIA
Colombian sculptor Fernando Botero's work can be seen in all the major cities of the world. The town of his birth pays his work unique tribute with a collection of 23 statues featuring his signature plus-sized proportions across the plaza's 75,347-square-foot area in the city's Old Quarter.
