This book explores the fascinating world of town parks in New South Wales, Australia, from their historical roots to their potential future. It examines their cultural significance, questioning whether they are a cultural invention or a vital connection to nature.
The author traces the origins of parks from ancient gathering places to royal hunting grounds, whilst illustrating how parks serve various needs: places for socialising, recreation, connection with nature, and community events. The book also considers the design, management, and meaning of parks to the people who use them.
Through insightful observations and a representative selection of parks, this book celebrates these cherished spaces and contemplates their continued importance in our lives.
