Linear Parks
Linear parks are elongated green spaces that often follow the path of former railways, rivers, or other linear features. They provide recreational areas for walking, jogging, cycling, and enjoying nature, while also connecting different neighborhoods and communities. These parks can enhance urban environments by offering a natural escape and promoting outdoor activities.
Many linear parks include amenities such as playgrounds, picnic areas, and fitness stations. They serve as vital corridors for wildlife and can improve air quality in urban settings. Examples of well-known linear parks include the High Line in New York City and the BeltLine in Atlanta.
