many parks that i visit
are quiet and solitary experiences
and then there are others
teeming with people and life
and noise and activities
of all kinds
both have such an important place and purpose.

Enjoyed this post, Beth. And I agree, both the busy and non-busy parks hold great importance, for our human species as well as all the plants and animals too.
