An urban park is a big outdoor space in a city where people can go to relax, play or exercise. It can be like a big backyard for everyone in the city to share. In the city, there are not many big open spaces, and so urban parks are really important because they can be a place where people can breathe fresh air, see trees and flowers, hear birds singing and feel surrounded by nature.
Urban parks can have many different things in them. They can have swings and slides for kids to play on, sports fields for people to run and play sports, walking and biking paths for people to exercise on, and maybe even a lake or a fountain to cool off in on a hot day. There can be benches and tables for people to sit and relax, have a picnic or read a book.
Urban parks are for everyone to enjoy, so it's important to keep them clean and take care of them. We should always help clean up after ourselves and our pets, not litter and not harm any of the plants or animals that live there. When we visit urban parks, we can learn about the different trees and animals that live there, and appreciate their beauty, and learn how we can help support and protect them.
