Parkland (Green Space)

Parkland, or green space, refers to areas within urban environments that are maintained as natural or landscaped open spaces, such as parks, gardens, woodlands, and recreational fields. These areas provide residents with access to nature, outdoor activities, and natural beauty, contributing to physical health, mental well-being, and environmental sustainability. Parks and green spaces help reduce urban heat, improve air quality, and support local ecosystems by offering habitat for plants and wildlife. They are essential for enhancing community livability, encouraging social interaction, and providing a peaceful refuge amidst built-up areas.
