I keep seeing this ad calling the BREC park system the “number one park system in the nation”. Unsurprisingly I could find nothing through Google to support this outrageous claim. Can someone please explain to me their basis to say this on tv?

BREC actually does have a good park system. I miss being able to golf for dirt cheap at BREC parks

I don’t know about being #1, but they haven’t been audited for a couple of years per the Advocate.

BREC is perennially designated as a top park system in the country. I know that's a bitter bill to swallow for much of the OT.
This was so hard to find from 2022.

One aggravating thing is our property taxes pay for BREC yet they always charge for stuff. It should be free for property tax payers.
