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.

athletics events.
