Best Answer

Private land is land to which the public has no right of access. In countries where private ownership is permitted, a property owner has the right to prevent others from entering her/his land. An owner of land has the right to the exclusive use and possession of the land and can leave it to her heirs by will. If she has no will the land will pass to her heirs under the law.

Public land is open to public use. Examples are parks, school properties, recreation areas, sidewalks, public streets, libraries, courthouses, bike trails, conservation areas, etc.
