recreational parks
Public fun spaces
Recreational parks are public outdoor spaces designed for leisure activities, exercise, and enjoyment of nature.
They typically feature amenities like playgrounds, sports fields, walking trails, picnic areas, and green space.
The term distinguishes these from national parks or wildlife preserves, emphasizing active use rather than conservation: The city built three new recreational parks along the riverfront.
