park planning
Public grounds layout
Park planning is the process of designing and organizing public green spaces, recreational areas, and their amenities.
It encompasses decisions about layout, facilities, landscaping, accessibility, and how spaces will serve community needs: The city's park planning committee approved new trails along the waterfront.
Park planning balances environmental preservation with public use.
