royal park

Monarch's public garden

A royal park is a park owned or historically owned by a monarchy, typically open to the public.

In Britain, the Royal Parks are specific green spaces in London originally used as royal hunting grounds—Hyde Park, Regent's Park, Richmond Park, and others: We spent the afternoon walking through the royal park.

The term appears elsewhere for similar crown-owned lands.
