Find your options in 15–20 min radius: parks, lakefronts, community gardens, shaded courtyards, campus lawns open to public.
Save & tag: star/save each place in your map's app (or mark a print map). Add quick tags like shade, benches, toilets, quiet/lively, timings.
Plan one new visit each month: When you go, take a photo and note one detail you liked (e.g., best time, shady corner, easy gate).
Save the nearest park in your map's app with a tag (e.g., “Evening shade”) or mark it on a paper map.
Be respectful of signage and maintenance staff; don’t trample planted areas. Carry water/sun protection; pause plans in extreme weather or poor air.
