One of the most beautiful locations in our modern world is parks in the middle of big cities. More and more metropolises are incorporating parks and other “green spaces” into asphalt jungles, as medical experts realize just how important it is for human beings to spend time in nature.
I love to discover parks which are historical and cultural havens as well as nature areas. New York City is perhaps the most famous with its Central Park, offering a sanctuary of verdure in the urban sprawl. On the West Coast, we have our share of beautiful natural attractions. One Californian example of a park in a big city, which is a historical and cultural gem as well as an oasis of flora and fauna, is Balboa Park in San Diego.
