landscaped parks

Designed urban greenspaces

Landscaped parks are public green spaces where the terrain, vegetation, and features have been deliberately designed rather than left natural.

Unlike wilderness preserves, they feature planned pathways, cultivated plantings, and architectural elements: The city's landscaped parks include fountains, manicured lawns, and ornamental gardens.

Central Park and the gardens of Versailles are famous examples.
