In a study by Mika R. Moran, Daniel A. Rodriguez, and colleagues, residents of Lima, Peru, and Caracas, Venezuela, were surveyed about parks in their cities. Of the 663 respondents from Lima, 72.7% indicated that they use the city's parks, and of the 1,043 respondents from Caracas, 44.7% indicated using city parks. Given that the percentage of Lima respondents who reported having access to desired nonpark amenities near parks was much lower than that reported by Caracas respondents, the difference in park use can't be explained by Lima residents having more access to desired nonpark amenities near parks.

• C.
