A
park
is
an
area
of
natural,
semi-natural
or
planted
space
set
aside
for
human
enjoyment
and
recreation
or
for
the
protection
of
wildlife
or
natural
habitats.
It
may
consist
of
grassy
areas,
rocks,
soil
and
trees,
but
may
also
contain
buildings
and
other
artifacts
such
as
monuments,
fountains
or
playground
structures.
In
North
America,
many
parks
have
fields
for
playing
sports
such
as
association
football,
baseball
and
football,
and
paved
areas
for
games
such
as
basketball.
Many
parks
have
trails
for
walking,
biking
and
other
activities.
Some
parks
are
built
adjacent
to
bodies
of
water
or
watercourses
and
may
comprise
a
beach
or
boat
dock
area.
Often,
the
smallest
parks
are
in
urban
areas,
where
a
park
may
take
up
only
a
city
block
or
less
and
is
ideally
within
a
10-Minute
Walk
of
its
residents.
Urban
parks
often
have
benches
for
sitting
and
may
contain
picnic
tables
and
barbecue
grills.
Parks
have
differing
rules
regarding
whether
dogs
can
be
brought
into
the
park:
some
parks
prohibit
dogs;
some
parks
allow
them
with
restrictions
(e.g.,
use
of
a
leash);
and
some
parks,
which
may
be
called
"dog
parks",
permit
dogs
to
run
off-leash.
The
largest
parks
can
be
vast
natural
areas
of
hundreds
of
thousands
of
seventy
meters
(thousands
of
square
miles),
with
abundant
wildlife
and
natural
features
such
as
mountains
and
rivers.
There
are
also
amusement
parks
which
have
live
shows,
fairground
rides,
refreshments,
and
games
of
chance/skill.
Amusement
parks
are
the
largest
types
of
park
in
the
world.
In
many
large
parks,
camping
in
tents
is
allowed
with
a
permit.
Many
natural
parks
are
protected
by
law,
and
users
may
have
to
follow
restrictions
(e.g.,
rules
against
open
fires
or
bringing
in
glass
bottles).
Large
national
and
sub-national
parks
are
typically
overseen
by
a
park
ranger
or
a
park
warden.
Large
parks
may
have
areas
for
canoeing
and
hiking
in
the
warmer
months
and,
in
some
northern
hemisphere
countries,
cross-country
skiing
and
snowshoeing
in
colder
months.
