Linear parks and esplanades are long narrow corridors of land that provide recreational opportunities suitable for their linear nature, often connecting other open space functions and key features and facilities. A destination in their own right due to attractive locations (eg waterfront, along the edge of bushland reserves), they are often linear in shape due to the nature of adjoining landscape features such as foreshores and waterways. Linear parks facilitate pedestrian and cycle connection between residential uses and the overall open space network, linking active and passive recreation. These parks are not part of the active transport network and are primarily for recreation. |
