A city is more than just the urban area. I think the way the markets organize cities would create parks and reserves in the hinterland that are more accessible and of higher quality to those who live and work in the urban areas than Central Park is to its urban area.
I think we take for granted things like traffic congestion, but the truth is that in a market-organized city, there would be very little congestion for a variety of reasons that boil down to the need for efficiency. We already know one way to do this logistically, but governments would never implement it due to the regulatory capture by voters who don't want change or don't understand the issues. I think in a market-organized city, it would be far easier to commute to a Northwest Trek sort of place for far more people than commuting to Central Park for the same number of people. And the same would apply to all sorts of parks, with all sorts of attractions that the companies implement that tax-funded parks don't have
