The document compares two community parks - Buhl Community Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Perdana Park in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. Both parks were constructed to provide green space for recreation within their cities. Buhl Community Park has a unique water sculpture and hosts various seasonal activities, while Perdana Park features a nightly musical fountain show and is used mostly for exercise. Though the parks differ in their features and activities, they both aim to foster community interaction and preserve open space in urban areas.
