This document discusses elements to consider when designing a town park. It defines a town as an urban area with a name and local government that is larger than a village but smaller than a city. A town park is an area set aside for recreation and enjoyment that may include grassy areas, trees, and structures. When designing a town park, both active recreation facilities like sports fields and passive recreation areas for quiet activities should be included. Elements of design include accessibility, infrastructure, parking, irrigation, facilities for all ages and groups, and conserving resources through balanced use.

Golf courses, Swimming pools, Outdoor theaters
,Gymnasiums etc

 A passive recreation area is generally an undeveloped
space or environmentally sensitive area that requires
minimal development. Emphasis is placed on preservation
of wildlife and the environment.
 Passive park use refers to less structured recreational
activities which require little or no specialized parkland
development and management, and therefore can be
provided at a low cost to communities. I
 Examples:Walking and jogging, Fishing, Wildlife viewing
and bird watching, Hunting, Horse riding etc

9. Elements of design a town park:

transportation.

should be given to socials class like age and
gender, so the facilities and activities soulde be
provided for each age group not only for
childrens but arrangement should be made to
attract different group of people .

12. Resource conservation :
 The main emphasis in given on resources
conservation means use the resources in the
way that you can get maximum benefit from them
and also can use for long time means there
should be a balance between resources and
their use. So the resources can be conserved for
more use.
