Parks are areas of land set aside for public enjoyment, rest and recreation that are often owned and managed by cities or governments. They can be made in various locations depending on their type, with community parks able to be placed anywhere and school parks usually in backyards. There are many types of parks including amusement, water, community, and theme parks as well as playgrounds. Parks are fantastic places, especially for families with children, as they allow children to enjoy rewards for good behavior or schoolwork.
