Abstract
Urban parks play a vital role in modifying the quality of life. Green areas are cooler compared to non green areas because of the tree cover and many studies have found that air temperature inside the parks and beneath the trees is 2-3 degrees lesser. Besides aiding in services such as air and water purification, wind and noise filtering, they also provide social and psychological services, which are of crucial significance for the liveability of modern cities and the well being of urban dwellers. A park experience reduces stress, enhance contemplativeness, rejuvenate the city dweller, and provide a sense of peacefulness and tranquillity.
