Mega Parks Canal Parks
Each of the
Holy City districts will have a centrally located "mega park." Each
park will be
nautical mile to a side [=
m
( ft)] have an area of
km2
( mi2) [=
ha|
ac].
Each individual Mega Park will also have a unique theme be it trees, botany, wildlife, etc. Each park will have at its center the HC’s District Temple complex.
To put these
Mega Parks into perspective, New York City’s Central Park
which has dimensions of 4.0 km X .84 km (2.5 mi X .52 mi) and an area of 3.37 km2 (1.30
mi2) [=337 ha|832 ac] is located on the island of Manhattan which has an area of 58.8 km2 (22.7 mi2) (see
this aerial photo). Therefore the area of Central Park takes up 5.7% of Manhattan. By comparison, each HC District is about
X
the size of Manhattan, so its Mega Park will only take up
% of its
km2
( mi2) area.
Along each side of the HC's
km
( mi)
long
Canals
[on average] will be
m
( ft)
wide (avg.) Canal Parks.

in number and covering about
hectares
( acres).
