municipal parks
Town recreation areas
Municipal parks are public green spaces owned and maintained by local governments—city or town parks as opposed to state or national ones.
They typically offer recreational facilities like playgrounds, sports fields, and walking paths: The city council voted to expand the municipal parks budget.
Most urban residents live within walking distance of a municipal park.
