Chapter 2-The history behind it

Parks have been a significant part in the urban society, it have New York City more tourist that wants to come everytime to see our famous Central Park. There are many parks besides the well known Central Park in the Tri-State area. There is Prospect Park that is located in Brooklyn that has attracted the locals and when the park was new it has attracted a lot more people besides the locals. There are many ladscapes that has attracted people to visit their states besides New York City, such as a park in Boston called "Franklin Park and Arnold Arboretum" (Low p.23). There are many known parks such as Delaware Park located in Buffalo, NY that is a great piece of history that can say a lot about a place.
One great things that people see when they go to the parks are the greens, the trees that is all over the park, it gives locals such as myself a feeling that we can connect with nature. along side the trees and plants are architecture that accomodate the park and give the park an artsy look to it. The cemeteries in Mount Auburn in Cambridge Massachusetts has a "picturesque effect" (Low 20). This have given a new look to cemeteries especially since cemeteries are known to look scary. With such attraction to parks and other landscapes in urban society, it need to be repaired and remodeled so the people that go there will love what they see. 
There are municipal parks that shows a lot about a nation and become a tourists site as well as a landmark for the people. There is a lot of history and culture that can go into the municipal parks and it becomes a symbolic representation of the nation (Low 31). Over the years the once great landmark such as Riis Park or Prospect Park have been wrecked and no one cares to help with the repairs. It leaves the landmark that everyone loved into a neglected place that people go once in a while. 
I believe that the parks and landmarks is a great way to symbolize our nation and represent the beauty that the nation has to offer. Unfortunately with the bad conditions that the park and landmark contain it becomes a place that no one really wants to go there unless they are locals. If i was a tourists in New York City and had to choose if I would want to go to Central Park or Prospect Park my choice will be Central Park. With the right funds and the people the come together in fixing up parks and beaches, there will be more people from different ethnic background that will love to go to all the places.
