Do you go to Parks once in a while...

I do live right across the street of a very beautiful park. I also live very close to Navy Pier which is another very nice park. I do enjoy weather permitting nice walks at the park right across the street. Especially in the evenings as the kids play baseball there. I also enjoy simply gazing at the stars at night while I stroll once in a while. The park across the street from me is very family oriented, so there are always lots of people there all the time. When I see nature such as you beautiful picture it is like therapy, as it is very calming.

Hi marguicha, Bengaluru, from which metro city I moved to this city is called the Garden City of India. It has the famous Lalbagh [meaning red garden]. History has it that the name came from the exclamation uttered by one famous ruler, Tipu Sultan in his early life after seeing the beautiful read roses that adored the garden. It is a huge garden with a wide variety of trees of interest to Botany students. It is vast, picturesque and wonderful with a big lake as well within. For about two years, we were staying close to the park which itself is in the heart of the city and we would go for a good long walk every day early morning. It used to be an excellent refreshing routine which I hated missing. :D I wish I could share a picture but I can't yet. However, I'm posting a link to the official site to give you some glimpses of this beautiful park: http://lalbaghgardens.com/Highlights/Gardens.html

I love parks, but not in TN. Its hot and humid which is one thing that makes me sick. I would take my dog to a dog park here, but he is a pit bull/boxer and that makes people nervious. He is a really friendly dog and has never picked a fight with any animal....though he does chase rabits, but its because he is curious about them. After he catches up to it, he stops chasing it because he doesn't know what to do with them. I did live in Alaska and used to go parking, camping and to parks all the time. I was in boy scouts so I spent a lot of time in the wilderness. I love hiking as well. I love nature except for spiders and the Alaskan state bird (the mosquito). I even spent 3 days in the woods with a pocket knife and the clothes on my back for boy scouts. The wilderness is very relaxing and helps relieve stress.

Hi margu, I like to roam in parks. In a city life parks are the free breathing place. I go every morning in a nearby park to take fresh air and to enjoy nature. But there is no picture with your discussion.

Me too, few months ago, every after or rigid review I see to it that I go to the park and have some rest also meditation in there.In our place there is a park in the middle of the city and I is to helpful to me. I was able to feed the doves and dance with the music being played at the park. The park is called as the People's Park.

I live in pretty complete city. LOL, I mean it has malls, high buildings and whatnot people manufactured. yet, I can still see the beauty of nature here. there are many parks here. in my neighbourhood, I reckon three parks which people usually go there for picnicking, walking, relieving stress, or/and even dating. and one of the park I know in my neighbourhood has animals in it, some outbond facilities, gardening training (actually it is one of nature reservation programs), and I dont know how what is the correct term for it but it;s called "sekolah alam" here (literally translated would be "nature school) where kids or anyone can learn how to make use of everything around them to help saving earth such as recycling things, making natural fertilizer, and so on. so the park is never really quite because families go there as alternative way to spend their free time.. it feels relaxing and refreshing to be away from some polutions for some time, gasp the fresh air and spoil myself with the beauty of trees and flowers there also it is nice to see happy people there.

I used to like to go to parks, but since I can't walk easily because of my foot problems (both feet actually) but sometimes I'll go and read or stitch, not much any more, - have to see how much I do it - tho last spring I sat out in my front yard and read before it got too hot and now I have my craft shed in the back with a nice deck to sit out when it cools off.

I go to a nearby park close to home which was part of a wet land some years back...the place was developed to build homes and units but the land in the middle which had a creek running trough it was made into a park with big ponds and there are ducks and other native birds living in it! the park is planted with native trees they really made a good job and the place is just lovely I usually visit there once a week!

There is a park in my town, but it is not a very nice place at the moment, because they are rebuilding it, and there is a lot of noise. I look forward to to seeing the result when they finish rebuilding the place. My favourite park on my island is a park in nothern part of the island. It takes a while to drive from my town to that place, but it is worth it, because it is beautiful place. Close to the park there is a castle and we can see it from the park. Inside the park there are a lot of sculptures. All of them are made from natural materials like trees and stones, and it is fun to walk around in the park and look for the sculptures. Some of them are hard to find because they look like a part of nature.

Though there really isn't a park that is within walking distance from my house, there are a lot of great parks in our area and we do visit them on a regular basis. We will go to the park so that the kids can play and there are also some parks around here that have great walking trails. Additionally, there is an arboretum that isn't too far away that has a lot of beautiful flowers. Parks are definitely something that our family has always enjoyed.

There's a famous park in front of our office building. I can say that it is one of the most beautiful fact Ive ever seen and the fact that it is in the most commercialized place in the Philippines makes me think it's really awesome. It preserves the tress, plants,and Bermudas of the place. Sometimes, we and my c-workers go there to release stress and to stay away from stressful things in our office.

Oh wow the picture you have posted is so very beautiful. Would love to go there some day :) And yes we do go to parks sometimes. But my main reason to go to parks is to ride bikes and skateboards We went to this park, which is about 15 minutes bus ride, last week. I absolutely love that park and it is right beside a river too which makes it so pleasant.

i like to go for a morning walk in the park nearby our home. It keeps me fresh throughout the day. sometimes, if i feel so depressed, i like to spend time in the park.

I like going to park too.Just sitting there,relax for a while,watching the sunset,having picnic with family or friends.It is really a nice place to rest and relax for awhile and enjoying life.

I guess, I just accept Parks, as part of the landscape..and visit only the TWO here, on the Island, that are huge Marine Parks! I don't actually know the square miles of this Island, but do know that over 60% is Parkland, and all beautiful, but it is also becoming a tax burden! We are heavily taxed for all the Parkland and it's maintenance! I think your picture is beautiful...and green spaces are so necessary on this planet...but do they all have to be in one place..LOL? Have a great day, special lady...truly thank you for your support!

Hi marguicha, I think it has been long time we visited a park. Earlier we visited a park once in a month atleast. This time, all of us were down with health issues and yet to completely recover from the same by all members of family so no time to think about an outing. Now the climate also changing and it adds so change of mood as well as irritations (due suffering cold). Here in this place also some good parks and even small parks are available in nearby home.

From time to time, it's definitely something that I enjoy doing. I find that it does help to relax and unwind. It can just be a peaceful place to be. I'm not really sure what it is, but I find that it just helps me relax, and such.

Hi Marg, i do go to the park, once in a while when my family was free. Because the nearest park is still quite far away from my home. We need to drive, then only able to reach the park. It is a beautiful park and is family oriented, since people of all ages was seen playing and jogging in this park especially in the evening.

Hi margu... Its my problem that i dont like crowd and even to face persons sitting in a park, hence i never visit a park. I like loneliness and thats why i have grown up my own park and i sit there when i feel. Take care.

I'm so blessed to live in front of the park in our subdivision, There are narra trees (our national tree) there which my father, me and my brother planted some 35 years ago and the place is now called an eco-park. I wish I could take pictures to post cause it's just across the street but somebody borrowed my camera, anyway I hope you can come pay a visit when you are well, we'll take a walk with my family
