Urban forest parks
An urban forest park brings a forest-like green space into a city, where people can walk, learn and rest. Mast Parks plans nature-led parks inside city developments, as it did at a Mast ecological park in Telangana.
An urban forest park is a green space inside or beside a city that is planned to feel like a forest. People come to walk, rest and learn about the plants and animals of the place.
What makes it different from a garden
- Planting that grows into a forest. The aim is a living landscape, not a lawn.
- Learning. Paths and spaces explain what visitors are seeing.
- Light facilities. Cafes, huts and gathering spaces are planned around the trees.
- A reason to return. A story or theme gives the park an identity.
What planning it involves
The site and the audience are studied first, in a feasibility study. The layout then follows a master plan, and the story follows theme development.
