Parks Excellent Anchors for Sense of Location
Parks are an excellent means to structure your mental map of the city. It’s different saying “meet me at Bryant Park” than saying “meet me at 41st Street and Sixth Avenue". One you have to look up, the other you don’t. Meaningful things happen at parks, they’re places you experience and enjoy. The sense of place you get from parks lives in your semantic memory.
