Parks provided a wonderful location for family outings. Most cities opened public parks in the 19th century. Hyde Park in London and Central Park in New York were two of the most famous. As industrial cities grew, it was inceasingly seen that green areas for the city residents were neded. Canada did not have large indutrial cities in the 19th century, but this began to change after World War I and now does have a few. This is a different time frame than that of America and Europe. Many of the most famous parks, like New York's Central Park, were opened in the 19th century. Some parents used to dress their children up even for park outings. An important event in the daily life of nursery-bound children were daily outings to city parks. We do not yet have much information on Canadian parks. We do note Vancouver's unique Stanley Park which has attracted visitors from all over the world. Other patrks like Montreal's Mount Royal Park are enjoyed mostly by the city residents.
