The maps are interesting because they quickly demonstrate that DC has a lot of sizeable park land that's in close proximity to the city's center (the Mall, riverfront, and Rock Creek Park). On the other hand, SF's big parks (the Presidio, and Golden Gate) are located some distance away from downtown. The same with Boston. Of course, this is ignoring the woeful state of the Mall.

I've always said that one of DC's best features is the quick access to the major parks from the central neighborhoods. Georgetown, Dupont, Adams Morgan, Mt Pleasant, and Cleveland Park all curve around Rock Creek Park.
