esplanade
An esplanade is a long, open, level area, often found along a waterfront, designed for walking, jogging, or cycling. It typically features pathways, benches, and sometimes gardens, providing a scenic space for leisure and recreation. Esplanades are popular in urban areas, offering residents and visitors a place to enjoy nature and views of the surrounding landscape.
Many famous cities have esplanades, such as the Promenade des Anglais in Nice, France and the Marine Drive in Mumbai, India. These spaces often serve as social hubs, hosting events, festivals, and gatherings, enhancing community interaction and outdoor enjoyment.
