While Pawnee, Indiana sadly does not exist, Lincoln, Nebraska may just be the next best thing for Parks and Recreation fans. Why?

Well, you might think it has to do with its Midwestern setting, or maybe with its many, many perks—like its consistent rankings in the top 10 best places to retire, or the top 100 best places to live, or the top 10 college towns, or the top 99 beer cities, or top 10 downtowns—but you would be wrong.

Or maybe, you think it has to do with the fact that it is a city full of vibrant young professionals like Leslie’s Parks and Rec team, who frequently take advantage of the nightlife, festivals, and recreation activities—but that’s not quite it, either.

No, Lincoln, Nebraska would be Leslie Knope’s dream town for one simple reason: It has the most parkland per capita in the entire United States.

Or, to put it into numbers: There are more than 6,000 acres of parks and natural land in Lincoln, split between 125 regular parks, neighborhood parks, and mini parks (plus two skate parks and two dog parks). All of this land includes 133 miles of hiker/biker trails for locals to explore. And for the recreation side, there are seven recreation centers, nine public pools, and five city golf courses.

In other words, it’s everything Leslie Knope wished she could do with Pawnee.

But there’s more: During the Great Depression, 1.5 acres were set aside and turned into public gardens. Originally known as the Rock Garden, it featured 416 trees and shrubs. Now known as the Sunken Gardens, it ranks in the top 300 gardens to visit in the United States and Canada, according to the National Geographic Guide to Public Gardens—because its annual display has more than 30,000 individual plants, which are changed to fit a new theme every year.

Moreover, those aren’t the only gardens to relax in. Nature’s beauty can also be perused in Hamann Rose Garden, Veteran’s Garden, and Rotary Strolling Garden at Antelope Park.

Hyde Observatory would make Leslie proud as well; it works to educate the public about astronomy or space exploration in its monthly programs, and its volunteers are on hand to help you peek through one of its three telescopes at the night sky.

And then, the Pioneers Park Nature Center has been working with people of all ages since 1963. Featuring 668 of woodlands, tallgrass prairie, wetlands, and a stream, it has served not only as an environmental education center, but as a wildlife sanctuary. Along the same vein, the Saline Wetlands Conservation Partnership has worked to purchase nearly 710 acres of saline wetlands to preserve it for future generations—a move not unlike Leslie’s turning the area around Pawnee into a National Park in the last season.

All in all, if Leslie Knope were real, Lincoln, Nebraska would be her real-life Pawnee. The Parks and Recreation department there is not only active, but thriving, and clearly dedicated to its public. But most of all, Lincoln has the most parkland per capita—and if that doesn’t scream Leslie Knope, I don’t think anything else will.
