You can never ever have too much park space. Once its gone its gone. Build up if you want. Never sacrifice public open space. Ever.
And don't get me wrong unplanned overpopulated cities with no park space are fun to visit because their chaotic shit holes and interesting. But their not fun to live in.

I'm more of a fan of large parks like Manhattan's Central Park, Hyde Park, Prospect park etc, that are very large and landscaped rather then a boring patch of grass that is sitting on land worth 5 million dollars. If this development was in Los Angeles I'd be completely fine with it but there are FOUR large open green spaces nearby, more then enough, even if the entire neighbourhood was filled with 10 storey tall buildings.
