× Yes, I still enjoy going to parks when I feel suggest a trip to park is an ideal way to relax.
✓ Yes, I still enjoy going to parks when I feel a trip to the park is an ideal way to relax.
The original sentence mixes structures and omits necessary articles. Replace the awkward phrase 'feel suggest' with 'feel a trip ... is' to link the feeling to the idea. Add the indefinite article 'a' before 'trip' and the definite article 'the' before 'park' for natural English. This keeps present tense and corrects sentence structure.
× I usually take deep breaths, sit under the trees and listen to the birds, which helps me unwind and clear my mind.
✓ I usually take deep breaths, sit under the trees, and listen to the birds, which helps me unwind and clear my mind.
Grammatically this sentence is correct, but it needed a comma before the final conjunction for clear list separation (serial comma). No preposition error; correction adds punctuation for clarity. Keep present tense.
× I think more parks could really improve the city because they provide more green spaces for relax and for instance having nearby parks would make it easier for families to spend time out.
✓ I think more parks could really improve the city because they provide more green spaces for relaxation, and, for instance, having nearby parks would make it easier for families to spend time outdoors.
The phrase 'for relax' is incorrect; use the noun 'relaxation'. Add commas around 'for instance' as a parenthetical phrase. Use 'outdoors' instead of 'out' for natural expression. These changes preserve the modal 'could' and present-tense reasoning.
× Yes, for example, I would like to visit Fort Canning Park in in Singapore.
✓ Yes, for example, I would like to visit Fort Canning Park in Singapore.
There is a duplicated preposition 'in in'; remove the extra 'in'. The preposition 'in' before 'Singapore' is correct. This fixes a simple typographical/prepositional error.
