What are parks?

A park is like a big outdoor playground that everyone can enjoy together.

Imagine you have a favorite sandbox at home, it's where you dig, build castles, and sometimes even hide from your brother. A park is kind of like that, but much bigger and shared by lots of people. It has real grass instead of sand, trees that are taller than your house, and paths for walking or running.

Parks often have:

• Playgrounds, where kids can swing, slide, and climb
• Benches, where grown-ups can sit and read a book
• Paths, like sidewalks but outside, perfect for walking or riding bikes
• Trees and grass, that make the park feel fresh and green

Parks are special because they're not just for playing. They’re places where people can meet, relax, and even have picnics on blankets under the sun. Just like how a sandbox is your happy place at home, a park is like a happy place for everyone in the neighborhood, all day long!
