    The document provides a field visit report for a park near the author's house. It introduces parks as areas for human enjoyment, recreation, and wildlife protection. Urban parks are green spaces in cities used for recreation, while national parks are in rural areas. Parks contain fields for sports, trails for walking and biking, and amenities like benches and picnic tables. Large parks are overseen by rangers. The report then discusses the increasing urbanization of the world's population and the important role of urban green spaces and ecosystems in providing services like air/water purification, temperature regulation, habitat, and well-being. It studies an urban park in Sonipat, Haryana, India that was established on former agricultural land and now

    INTRODUCTION:-
    A park is an area of natural, semi-natural or planted space set aside for
    human enjoyment and recreation for the protection of wildlife or
    natural habitats. Urban parks are green spaces set aside for recreation
    inside towns and cities. National parks and country parksnare green
    spaces used for recreation in the

    countryside. State parks and provincial parks are administrated by sub-


    national government states and may also contain buildings and other
    artifacts such as monuments,fountains or playground structures. Many
    parks have field for playing sports such as baseball,cricket and football.
    Many parks have trails for biking, walking and other activities. Urban
    parks often have benches for sitting and may contain picnic tables and
    barbecue grills. Large national and sub-national parks are typically
    overseen by a park ranger. 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. There
    are amusements parks which have live shows for the purpose of
    recreation and joy.
    Over the last century, the population of urban areas has grown
    considerably. By 1950, these areas accounted for 30% of the world's
    population, nowadays reaching 50%, and it is estimated to grow
    above65% by 2050 (United Nations, 2014). Urban areas only cover
    about 2.4% of the land area (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment,
    2005a), thus having a very high population density. In this way,
    ecosystems in urban areas play an increasingly key role in the well-
    being of the inhabitants of these highly modified landscapes. Although
    their ecological value has often been considered limited due to their
    size and degree of artificiality , urban ecosystems can provide various
    ecosystem services (hereafter referred to as ES), i.e. benefits that man
    receives from ecosystems. These ES are the base for the use of these
    ecosystems as a nature-based solution to multiple environmental
    problems that are frequent in cities. Among urban ecosystems, parks
    provide several services, such as water and air purification, wind and
    noise reduction, carbon sequestration, microclimate regulation, wildlife
    habitat, and social and psychological well-being. However, in natural
    ecosystems, the type and magnitude of the ES provided depend on
    their characteristics, such as vegetation type, so we should expect the
    same to occur in urban ecosystems. For example, different
    management practices may implicate a trade-off between which
    service is maximized (different tree planting schemes for pollution
    removal vs. heat mitigation, or between ES and ecosystem disservices
    (increasing carbon sequestration by vegetation vs. carbon emissions
    due to its maintenance (e.g. mowing, pruning, irrigation, and
    fertilization).

    MATERIAL AND METHODS:-

    ##STUDY AREA/AREA VISITED:-


    The study area was an urban park(“ HUDA park”) with approx.
    44 ha located in the city of Sonipat(28°59’45”N,77°00’42”E)
    Haryana. Sonipat is one of the most populated municipalities of
    Portugal, with an area of approx. ,the park was established in
    1997, in lands used formerly for agricultural purposes that had
    once been assigned to urbanization, and it is currently the city's
    largest urban green. It is surrounded by roads, including
    highways with high traffic intensity. The park's topography was
    modeled by construction to regulate its hydrology, to diminish
    air, visual, and noise pollution. It consist over 1 lakh plus trees
    and a different varieties of plants and animals.
