Public Parks

Cairo's first new green space in more than 100 years has opened -- on top of a 500-year old garbage dump.

A former bus and rail yard in park-poor South Los Angeles will be converted into an "urban wetland park".

Short on funding, Toronto's waterfront parks agency is considering a plan to sell the naming rights to the park's amenities, allowing corporate sponsors to add their name to such public features as walkways and play areas.
