What .park would mean
In their own words, from the public part of each application (question 118):
Park commonly refers to a term with multiple commonly understood meanings depending on the context in which it is used. For example, it may refer to an area designated for recreation or to placing or leaving something in a designated location.
"Park" refers to an area of public or private land set aside for recreation, nature, or leisure; it can also mean the act of bringing a vehicle to rest in a designated place.
PARK refers to a planned area developed for a specific purpose where businesses, technology companies, industries, institutions, or organizations operate together, promoting collaboration, innovation, shared infrastructure, and economic growth.
PARK is an area for recreation or a particular use, from green space to an industrial or car park. As a verb, it means to leave something in place. Ideas welcome. Parking included.
