The town i used to live in, population 180,000, has a big park right outside the centre. It's got a lake, open grass, a small wood. It's a very nice park. Always busy.

The west edge is bordered by a 7ft wire fence and beyond it is a golf course 2.5x larger than the park. At a glance it looks very similar except this land is reserved for the exclusive use of ~500 members.
