This document compares and contrasts two urban parks - Vondelpark in Amsterdam, Netherlands and Taman Wetlands in Putrajaya, Malaysia. Vondelpark is a 47 hectare park established in 1865 that hosts over 1 million visitors annually, while Taman Wetlands is a larger 2,115 hectare man-made wetland built in 1997 that aims to preserve natural wildlife habitats. Both parks offer passive recreational activities like walking and picnicking, but Taman Wetlands also supports active activities like kayaking and birdwatching due to its wetland environment.
