In a study by Mika R. Moran, Daniel A. Rodriguez, and colleagues, residents of Mexico City, Mexico, and Bogotá, Colombia, were surveyed about parks in their cities. Of the 562 respondents from Mexico City, 77.6% indicated that they use the city's parks, and of the 1,121 respondents from Bogotá, 71.9% indicated using city parks. Given that the percentage of respondents who reported having access to desired nonpark amenities was much lower in Mexico City than in Bogotá, the difference in park use can't be explained by Mexico City residents having more access to desired nonpark amenities near parks.
