NEIGHBOURHOOD PARKS
Parks have long been thought of as vast city-owned, tree-covered areas which have been put aside for people to relax in They are expected to be large enough for activities like cycling, running, public gatherings, and various outdoor games Investment, maintenance, and renovation of parks are all the job of the city However, many modern and densely-populated cities have little land for such traditional parks
Instead of complaining about the lack of such parks in their city, a group of concerned residents of Creek County in California have become more creative in building new neighbourhood and community parks These parks may often be smaller in size, but they can still bring to a community most of the benefits of a much larger green space, providing balance amid busy and populous areas These volunteers have been successful in turning some abandoned public locations in the area into green and relaxing spaces The project has been

4 Smaller parks can’t bring most of the benefits of larger ones
5 Almost every resident created neighbourhood parks
