NEIGHBOURHOOD PARKS 

Parks have long been thought of as vast city-owned, tree-covered areas which are put aside for people to relax in. They are expectec to be large enough for activities like cycling, running, public gatherings, and various outdoor games. However, many modern and densely-populated cities have little land for such traditional parks.

Instead of complaining about the lacks of such parks in their city, a group of concerned residents of Creek County in California have become more creative in building new neighbourhood and community parks. These parks maybe often be smaller in size, but they can still bring to a community most of the benefits of a much larger green space, providing balance amid busy and populous areas. These volunteers have been successful in turning some abandoned public locations on the areas into green and relaxing spaces. The project has been greeted with lots of local enthusiasm, and has involved almost every resident in the area: cleaning up the area, planting trees and flowers, putting in benchesm and creating outdoor activities for chidren. Volunteers also help maintain the parks.

This plan has attracted interes from different parts of the city. Now there are more than ten other similar projects operating throughout the city.
