Does anyone know – if I find two parks in one day is it okay to use one of them for credit another day? I know you only get credit for one per day.

I’m pretty sure you can visit multiple parks in one day, they just need to be on different separate rides (the Strava split tool is your friend).

I share your problem of seeing a lot of different parks on my rides. Some people like to stop and restart their rides to use each park in a day. Others decide on capturing a single park for the daily ride. Because of the different ways people approach the #parkfinder I have two different awards – most parks and most average miles per park. Personally I don’t like to stop and take a picture every few feet or miles so I just pick one park (or public art, or history sign or wormhole etc. a day). Of course my parks finds don’t count since I am sponsoring the prize. I am just in awe at all the parks around us, some in our own “backyards” that we did not even know were there until we started looking for parks.

Also, I think the rules are the same as last year — and this is from that rule set, which is included in the first post of this thread:

So, the short answer is it is not okay.

Parque Regional del Sureste
Is more of a blank space between towns that a real park!

In a near by town of Cobeña I found this quaint little park Parque Las Fuentes. Although I did not pick up my bike and climb the stairs I did take the road on the left and climbed a nice steep hill
