Typhoon and Craig get married, Andy and April become parents, Donna sets up a non-profit with her husband, Tom becomes a best - selling author, Garry serves as Mayor until his death at age 100, and Ron finds happiness in a job as a park superintendent for the National Park Service . Ben is elected to Congress, and he and Leslie are separately courted to run for governor of Indiana . After considering who should run, Ben decides that Leslie would be a better candidate . The two then visit the Parks department and see all of their friends once more . Ann and Chris reappear and decide to move back to Pawnee . In the future Leslie serves two terms as governor, and hints at a "new, unknown challenge" in a speech; at Garry's funeral (depicted earlier in the episode, but occurring further in the future), she and Ben are accompanied by what appears to be a Secret Service detail, in a scene left intentionally ambiguous . </Td> </Tr> <P> The first 12 episodes were aired within six weeks by airing two each week, back - to - back . Production began on August 11, 2014, and ended on December 12, 2014 .

Rotten Tomatoes gave the season a 100% rating based on 13 reviews . IGN reviewer Matt Fowler gave the series finale a perfect 10 out of 10 score, saying "Doing what the show does best, Parks knocked it clear out of the park with "One Last Ride ." A remarkably irresistible swirl of love and satire . The writers knew it wasn't enough to just send everyone off into the future . They knew we needed to see that future . Not just for peace of mind, but because we've all become so lovingly invested in the characters . This final season proved to us that we could withstand a time jump and still remain attached to everyone . And this finale used that to hop through the Pawnee gang's futures, creating an exciting, heartwarming journey ." </P>
