green spot

Colored patch, lawn-like

A green spot is a small area of vegetation or parkland within an urban environment—a patch of grass, a small garden, or any bit of greenery amid concrete and buildings.

City planners use the term when discussing urban ecology and public spaces: The neighborhood lacks green spots where children can play.
