If you want a park, then build a park. Don’t give away the land and hope someone else builds a park.

The Trustees of Reservations, in the Boston area, are a great example of this working well.

Yea, I suppose if you gave the land to an organization dedicated to building parks then you could reasonably expect to get a park out of it. Of course, they might decide to build a garage to house and maintain their fleet of mowing and gardening equipment instead.
