Park
design
is
influenced
by
the
intended
purpose
and
audience,
as
well
as
by
the
available
land
features.
A
park
intended
to
provide
recreation
for
children
may
include
a playground.
A
park
primarily
intended
for
adults
may
feature
walking
paths
and
decorative
landscaping.
Specific
features,
such
as
riding
trails,
may
be
included
to
support
specific
activities.
The
design
of
a
park
may
determine
who
is
willing
to
use
it.
Walkers
may
feel
unsafe
on
a mixed-use
paththat
is
dominated
by
fast-moving
cyclists
or
horses.
Different
landscaping
and
infrastructure
may
even
affect
children's
rates
of
use
of
parks
according
to
sex.
Redesigns
of
two
parks
in
Vienna
suggested
that
the
creation
of
multiple
semi-enclosed
play
areas
in
a
park
could
encourage
equal
use
by
boys
and
girls.[2]
Parks
are
part
of
the
urban
infrastructure:
for
physical
activity,
for
families
and
communities
to
gather
and
socialize,
or
for
a
simple
respite.
Research
reveals
that
people
who
exercise
outdoors
in
green-space
derive
greater
mental
health
benefits.[3] Providing
activities
for
all
ages,
abilities
and
income
levels
is
important
for
the
physical
and
mental
well-being
of
the
public
