A park is an area designated for recreation and the protection of wildlife and natural habitats. Urban parks are green spaces within towns and cities, while national and country parks serve recreational purposes in the countryside. State and provincial parks are managed by local government agencies.
Parks typically include grassy areas, trees, and may have amenities such as monuments, playgrounds, sports fields, and paved areas for games. Many also feature trails for walking and biking, and some are located near water, providing beaches or boat docks. Urban parks often include benches, picnic tables, and barbecue grills for visitors.
