Terra Style Park

Terra Style Park is an planned area set aside for enjoyment and recreation. While the design of Terra Style Parks can vary considerably, those located on planets are isolated from the the native ecosystem by a variety of means. Originally only those parks that only included flora and fauna from Terra were described using those terms, but later the term expanded to include other sources as long as they could share a Terran environent.

It may consist of grassy areas, rocks, soil, and trees, but may also contain buildings and other artifacts such as monuments, fountains or playground structures. In North America, many parks have fields for playing sports such as soccer, baseball and football, and paved areas for games such as basketball. Many parks have trails for walking, biking and other activities. Some parks are built adjacent to bodies of water or watercourses, and these parks may comprise a beach or boat dock area. Often, the smallest parks are in urban areas, space stations, and even ships, where a park may take up only a city block or less. Urban parks often have benches for sitting and they may contain picnic tables and barbecue grills.

The largest parks can be vast natural areas of hundreds of thousands of square kilometres (thousands of square miles), with abundant wildlife and natural features such as mountains and rivers. In many large parks, camping in temporary shelters is allowed with a permit. Large national and sub-national parks are typically overseen by a park ranger or a park warden. Large parks may have areas for canoeing and hiking in the warmer months and, in some northern hemisphere countries, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing in colder months.
