7. Griffith Park, Los Angeles, United States
An urban park is a park that is located within the middle of a city. It offers the same recreation and leisure as a normal park, such as green space, public entrances, areas to explore, a playground, picnic facilities and paths to walk and run. The main catch is that it’s not surrounded by more green land or natural attractions, it’s actually surrounded by an urban city. That includes major roads, buildings, monuments, traffic and plenty of people going about their everyday city life. These parks have been protected by the authorities as public land that cannot be used for any form of private development or construction. We take a look at the 7 most famous urban parks and their surrounding urban life.
