We are surrounded by so many parks but how many of us know the specific type and history. Setha Low gives us a historical background of the parks around us in United States of America. Parks was first in North America in the early nineteenth century. There are many different types of park such as landscape park, recreational parks, beach parks, and historical parks. Urban parks are different than squares and commons, there are usually larger such as Central Park. They are design according to the city they surrounded in.
Prospect Park is a beautiful park so I have heard and I work literally few blocks from it, however I have never been there. It was a product of the park movement in North America in 1840s for a 50-year period. The movement had philosophical, theological, and nationalistic sources to make such beautiful park happened for us to enjoy. Pelham Bay Park in the Bronx is also one of the parks I have never been to. It is build and constructed modernly than the most other parks. It is also the largest unit in the New York City park system.
Parks are great places to hang out and socialized or just to relax. It a great places for activity such as sports. Being out in the open in the fresh air is very healthy too. We don’t realize how important parks are to humanity and civilization.
