linear park
Narrow urban greenspace
A linear park is a narrow stretch of public green space that follows a natural or man-made corridor—typically along a river, abandoned railway line, canal, or highway right-of-way.
These parks prioritize length over width, often serving as recreational trails and wildlife corridors connecting neighborhoods: The old rail line was converted into a linear park with walking and cycling paths.
