parkland
Preserved natural area
Parkland is land set aside or used as a park—typically open, grassy areas with scattered trees, maintained for public enjoyment or conservation.
The term often describes the aesthetic of such landscapes: rolling parkland dotted with oaks.
In urban planning, parkland refers to acreage designated for recreational green space: The city acquired thirty acres of parkland along the river.
