Dictionary:

parkland

  (pärk'lănd') pronunciation
n.
  1. Land within or suitable for public parks: Alaska's vast federal parkland.
  2. Grassland with scattered clusters of trees or shrubs.

 
 

[De]

A traditional style of land use, also known as wood pasture, that was widely developed in later medieval times in Britain and parts of northern Europe comprising areas of open grassland studded with single established trees or deliberately planted clumps. These landscapes were browsed by deer and cattle with the result that the trees have a distinctive flat base to their foliage caused by maximum reach of the grazing animals. Parkland was economically important both for grazing and the production of substantial timber.
