What are public spaces?

Public spaces are places where everyone can go and enjoy together.

Imagine you're playing in a park, that's a public space! It’s like a big playground for all the kids (and adults) in your town. You don’t need a special key or a ticket to be there; anyone can come in and have fun.

Public spaces are usually owned by the whole community, not just one person. That means you can run around on the grass, ride your bike, or sit on a bench and eat your lunch, all without worrying about being asked to leave.

Some public spaces are like big rooms in a house, but for everyone. A park is like a living room outside, while a library is like a cozy reading nook that belongs to all the people in town.

You can even find public spaces inside buildings, like a mall or a library, they're places where people come together to do different things, and everyone is welcome.
