I don't get to it nearly as often as I should, but King's park in Perth is lovely. These kinds of urban green areas need to proliferate as we move to building medium and higher density housing. I'm a big fan of apartment buildings sitting in the middle of large green areas, with walking paths between them. Served by a subway of course. The apartments are coated with vertical gardens and solar panels and so on.
You know, the other kind of alternate history where we got things right instead of fucking it up over and over and over again.
SNAP JB!,l I'm at my parent's for a few days and they live near a local golf course that is unfenced. So every evening near dusk they walk their dog through the course, on lead.
I commented that it's a beautiful space that anyone can walk through and enjoy. Golf courses are terrible for the environment and a completely inefficient use of land per user. But I do think it's wonderful to walk through with the dog and just enjoy the birds, roos and the occasional golf ball.
Perhaps an inner city Brisvegas golf course could become the Olympic stadium instead. I’m willing to compromise and leave a 9 or 10 hole course there to help out the whingers.

mono no aware: awareness of the transience of all things heightens appreciation of their beauty, and evokes a gentle sadness at their passing.
