  • Having small parks scattered around is way more impactful as those are the parks that most people use in day to day life

  • When these spaces are turned into small parkettes, it really just adds value to the neighbourhood and creates a meeting space.

Against

  • A large park gives the option of a bushy, lush, and less controlled piece of nature, which I prefer.

  • Of course we would still need the bigger parks for things like playgrounds and in order to play frisbee and other sports
