CONCLUSION

City parks improve our physical and psychological health, strengthen ourcommunities, and make our cities and neighbourhoods more attractive places to

live and work. Numerous studies have shown the social, environmental,economic, and health benefits parks bring to a city and its people. For example,they attract tourists, serve as community signature pieces, offer a marketing toolfor cities to attract businesses and conventions and host festivals, concerts and

athletics events.
