Discussion • What is a traditional park? • What is a traditional park for? • What a theme park is? • Do you know the difference between • traditional parks and theme parks?
Traditional parks are places for people to experience nature in a peaceful environment. The general purpose of a park is for people to walk in it for pleasure or for children to play in it. Theme parks, however, developed as entertainment places where visitors were given a selection of specific activities to do or things to see and visit. Each theme park is based on a specific idea to attract people who are interested in, for example, flowers and other plants, animals, sports and recreation, cultural activities, films and entertainment, a famous person or group of people, a particular country or culture and many other themes.
