3. A Comparison Between Victorian-Era Parks and Modern Parks

Victorian parks were primarily created as moral and health-promoting spaces for the urban population, especially the working class. They offered a clean, green escape from polluted industrial cities. Activities were limited to walking, picnicking, and listening to music from bandstands. Sports and games were discouraged, as the parks were seen as places for quiet reflection and civilized behavior. Victorian parks played a role in social reform, offering safe, healthy spaces to improve the moral behavior of the lower classes. Access was technically free, but strict rules often governed conduct, dress, and behavior. Social interaction was limited and controlled.

Modern parks serve a much broader range of functions. They are designed for recreation, exercise, education, and social interaction. Children’s playgrounds, sports facilities, skate parks, dog runs, and community gardens are now common features. Parks today are more inclusive and dynamic, catering to people of all ages and interests. Today, parks are seen as democratic spaces open to all. They host festivals, markets, protests, and community events. Technology has also transformed park usage, with free Wi-Fi, fitness apps, and digital installations now enhancing visitor experience. The emphasis is on accessibility, equity, and active participation.
