Yesterday at 4 p.m., I walked around a lovely park with my wife. It was only five minutes away by motorcycle. The weather was warm and pleasant. The sunlight was gentle, not burning my skin, so I could enjoy it peacefully.
I didn’t jog; I walked to burn light calories. Every moment was fun and relaxing. I didn’t forget to capture the beautiful scenes with my camera. A gentle breeze blew, adding to the romantic atmosphere as we enjoyed the time together in the park.
In my area, free parks are rare, even though green spaces are essential in crowded places. People can enjoy various activities in these areas, from relaxing to exercising. The government should create regulations requiring housing developers to set aside free green zones for public use to support healthier urban living.
Green zones offer many benefits. People can socialize, and children can explore nature, helping their bodies stay active instead of spending all day on screens. Sports and outdoor play should become habits for a healthy community. Without free green spaces, where can people go to do physical activities and stay fit?
Whether people choose to do sports or not, the most important thing is that free green zones must exist. Parks provide safety for joggers and walkers, protecting them from the danger of vehicles—unlike walking or jogging along busy streets, which is too risky. Moreover, fresh air is a great benefit, as more green trees mean more oxygen, contributing to better health and a more livable environment for everyone.
Besides offering space for public activities, green zones also serve as rainwater catchment areas, helping to maintain groundwater stability. They play a vital role in balancing the environment and supporting sustainable urban development for future generations.
