A countrypark is an area designated for people to visit and enjoy recreation in a countryside environment. History In the United Kingdom the term CountryPark has a special meaning. There are over 400 Country Parks in England alone. Most Country Parks were designated in the 1970s, under the Countryside Act 1968 with the support of the former Countryside Agency Countryside Commission . In more recent times there has been no specific financial support for country parks directly, and fewer have been designated. Most are managed by local authorities, although other organisations and private individuals can also run them. There is nothing to stop anyone opening a site and calling it a CountryPark, although they might not receive recognition from the Countryside Agency . Indeed there are quite a few such parks in existence, some of which are very far from what one might normally expect a countrypark to be. In Hong Kong a large part of the territory s countryside is officially designated as Country Parks. Most of these are reservoir watersheds, serving the dual purpose of providing recreational facilities and contributing to Hong Kong s water supply. Purpose The purpose of a countrypark ..., as opposed to a formal park as might be found in an urban area. For this reason country parks ...
