The history of the park can be traced back to the 1 century. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries people wouldn"t really have understood what a park was. The idea of a park simply didn"t exist. People at that time knew about 2 because most of the population was involved in it. But 3 was seen as something dangerous. People wanted 4 and 5 landscapes that showed how the wilderness of nature could be made safe and beautiful. This was how parks began.
Only rich people had parks, and socially, parkland quickly became significant as a status symbol, first appearing near large country houses like because it was where the big 6 lived. Also very 7 socially was tree-planting because trees involve long-term 8 . They express a 9 in the future, and so they were carefully planted in 10 positions.
In the eighteenth century, the park became even more important as a 11 for a large house. The immediate 12 of the house were grassland, not fields of 13 . This was because if the park was to clearly distinguish its owner as a wealthy person, it needed to be beautiful but not very 14 . Rich people often involved themselves in something more like a 15 , for example, breeding animals.
In the nineteenth century, 16 parks appeared, taking up some of the ideas of rural park design, and those coming from 17 traditions. Parks gradually came to be used for the 18 of growing urban populations. This was quite a different purpose from that of the 19 park, which could be seen as representing a kind of 20 around the rich who were increasingly wanting to distance themselves from local farming communities, as well as from the growing urban areas.
