Improving the sound environment of the city park

A city park is a place where, in an urbanized world, a person can experience nature. A park is the green lung of the city. The numerous trees and shrubs in parks improve the air condition, especially in densely populated agglomerations. It is a meeting place and allows you to spend time actively. The park allows recreation and relaxation for city residents. City parks are desirable, especially in city centres, densely populated and built-up places. Designing parks should meet people's needs. It is extremely important to properly select space elements that will positively affect the comfort of use. Apart from the obvious issue of taking care of the park's aesthetics, its flora and appropriate equipment, an important role is played by an appropriate acoustic climate. Hence, when designing open spaces such as city parks, the cooperation of specialists in many fields is important: landscape architects, town planners, people dealing with nature protection, artists, and finally, acousticians. This allows you to create a space that will meet the needs and expectations of residents. The paper shows the possibility of taking steps to correct the existing sound environment in selected places in the city park.
