Abstract
This work examines current connections between a city and a park and provides a model for an efficient city park. In the course of research, scientific sources and materials related to the history of park development were studied; the objects of research were classified in generally accepted urban, architectural and space-planning and volume-spatial levels. City parks are a complex form of green space intended for various purposes, such as recreation, entertainment and contemplation of the beauty of nature. A model of an efficient city park was built based on the revealed connections between a city and a park, inlcuding recreational, environmental, economic, aesthetic and legal. It was confirmed that a park should exhibit its style and individuality. The development of city parks is a continuous process, resulting in new city parks being designed and built and the old ones transformed and renewed. The transformation of old parks is a key development process occurring in the urban park system, ensuring its healthy and sustainable development. An integral part of modern cities, parks address various challenges imposed by rapid urbanisation. Parks are essential not only in satysfying the population’s growing need in recreation, but also in improving the local ecological environment. It is recommended to increase recreational and service facilities in the parks since they are beneficial for the public space.
