nature park
Protected outdoor area
A nature park is an area of land set aside to preserve natural landscapes, wildlife, and ecosystems while allowing public access for recreation and education.
Unlike strict nature reserves, nature parks typically welcome visitors for hiking, birdwatching, or camping: We spent the afternoon exploring the nature park's trails.
The term overlaps with national park and nature reserve, though usage varies by region.
