country parks
Public green spaces
Country parks are public green spaces, typically on the outskirts of towns and cities, designated for outdoor recreation and nature enjoyment.
Common in Britain, they offer walking trails, picnic areas, and wildlife habitats without the formal landscaping of urban parks: We took the kids to the country park for a bike ride.
They bridge the gap between manicured city parks and wilder countryside.
