Do you still like going to parks now?

Of course, even though I am 25 years old now, I can still say that I myself is young at heart. Parks provide a breath of fresh air for me and it makes me think about my childhood memories and all of which helps me escape from reality that I'm in.

× As a kid, parks have been my dream place.
✓ As a kid, parks were my dream places.
The original uses present perfect 'have been' incorrectly for a past habitual state in childhood. Use simple past 'were' for a past state. Also 'parks' is plural so 'place' should be plural 'places' or rephrase to 'a park was my dream place.' Use consistent number agreement.
× I love to go and play in the slide swing and just interact with other kids.
✓ I loved to go and play on the slides and swings and just interact with other kids.
Childhood habits should be in past tense 'loved.' 'Play in the slide swing' is incorrect: use plural 'slides and swings' and preposition 'on' for playground equipment. Also plural matches 'other kids.'
× It has been the best memory of my childhood.
✓ They were some of my best childhood memories.
The sentence mixes singular 'memory' with plural experiences. Use simple past 'were' for past memories and plural 'memories.' 'Has been' is inappropriate for a completed past period (childhood).
× I myself is young at heart.
✓ I myself am young at heart.
'I' requires the verb 'am' in present tense; 'is' is third-person singular and incorrect with the first-person subject.
× Parks provide a breath of fresh air for me and it makes me think about my childhood memories and all of which helps me escape from reality that I'm in.
✓ Parks provide a breath of fresh air for me, and they make me think about my childhood memories, which help me escape from the reality I'm in.
Multiple agreement errors: 'Parks' is plural so follow-up pronoun should be 'they' not 'it.' 'All of which helps' is incorrect: 'which help' agrees with 'memories.' Also simplify 'reality that I'm in' to 'the reality I'm in.' Use commas to join clauses correctly.
× Of course, I do want to see more parks in the city to explore more and to immerse myself in different places which could help me ease my might with a daily stressful environment that I'm currently in.
✓ Of course, I want to see more parks in the city to explore and to immerse myself in different places, which could help me cope with the daily stressful environment I'm currently in.
'Do want' is acceptable but unnecessary; use 'want.' 'Ease my might' is incorrect and unclear — likely intended 'ease my mind' or 'cope.' 'Ease my mind' or 'cope with' fits; 'cope with the daily stressful environment' is clearer. Remove redundant 'more' after 'explore.' Add comma before 'which.'
× I want to go to international places and explore their parks because I want to differentiate parks from my local area and international parks.
✓ I want to visit international places and explore their parks because I want to compare parks in my local area with international parks.
Use 'visit' rather than 'go to' for travel, and 'differentiate' is awkward here; 'compare' is clearer. Structure 'compare X with Y' is correct. 'From my local area and international parks' was confusing and ungrammatical.
× And I do believe that seeing new places would open big opportunities for me to get out of my comfort zone.
✓ I believe that seeing new places would open up great opportunities for me to get out of my comfort zone.
'Do believe' is acceptable but unnecessary; use 'I believe.' 'Open big opportunities' is unnatural; say 'open up great opportunities.' This corrects collocation and makes phrasing idiomatic.
