For instance, within 5 minutes you can walk from the densest built-up area of Boston (Downtown Crossing) to the middle of Boston Common. From downtown Miami it looks like the walk to Virginia Key Park (the closer of the 2 you listed) would be at least an hour, one way.

Try convincing any city to buy prime developable land from a private owner, change the zoning, and maintain a park. It's tough. The easiest areas for cities are blighted areas or plots they already own. However, Miami does need green space, not everyone has a boat.
