That seems like kind of an odd commitment. I mean, a canal -- which apparently counts, based on the article text -- doesn't really seem like much of an alternative to a park, which also counts. Most of the things one might do in one aren't really things that one might do with the other.
And why is it specifically a walk? I can see "within N minutes of" being a metric for how hard it is to reach it, but surely if someone can bicycle or drive or whatever, it'd be about as accessible. I used to live within walking distance of a beach, but we tended to drive to another that was nicer and more-convenient.
