Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, "parque" refers to a public green space where families gather, kids play, and people exercise. In some regions you might hear "jardín" (especially in Spain) for a smaller urban garden. Remember that "al" is a mandatory contraction before "el parque"; saying "voy a el parque" is considered a grammatical error.
