How it's used
Refers specifically to public recreational areas maintained by the government. When people suggest meeting at a park, they often imply a specific local one nearby, so context usually clarifies which one is being discussed. It is common to pair this with verbs like 行, which implies a leisurely stroll rather than a purposeful walk.
