Abstract: Abstract City parks have been around almost as long as civilization. Early examples are the Persian gardens, e.g., the Eram gardens in Shiraz, Iran (Unesco, The Persian garden, 2021) that date back to the sixth century BC, the green spaces in the cities of Tikal at about 1000 BC (the Mayan civilization in present-day Guatemala, see, e.g., Lentz et al., Sci Rep 11, 12725, 2021 or Miller, Did the ancient Maya have parks?, 2021), the Gardens of Maecenas (Imperium Romanum, Wonderful gardens of Maecenas, 2020) on the Esquiline Hills (one of the seven hills Rome was founded upon), which, interestingly enough, were for a time used as graveyards and hanging grounds; they were first covered by a thick layer of soil, and then Maecenas transformed the area into a beautiful garden, which later became public property. Many other parks existed in Rome, some private and, as many places in ancient Rome, public.
