Absolutely, I love it. Going to Paris as a child, I remember spending hours on the swings and slides with my friends, and my parents would often take me for picnics on weekends. Parks were the perfect place to burn off energy and meet other kids, so I have a lot of great memories from those times.

× Absolutely, I love it.
✓ Absolutely, I loved it.
The examiner asked about liking parks as a child (past). The verb should match past time reference, so use 'loved' instead of present 'love'. Suggestion: match verb tense to the time frame mentioned in the question.
× Going to Paris as a child, I remember spending hours on the swings and slides with my friends, and my parents would often take me for picnics on weekends.
✓ When I went to parks as a child, I remember spending hours on the swings and slides with my friends, and my parents would often take me for picnics on weekends.
Sentence contains a wrong word 'Paris' instead of 'parks', causing meaning error rather than grammar, and the introductory participle phrase should clearly refer to the subject; 'When I went to parks as a child' is clearer and maintains past context. Suggestion: use a clear past time clause to avoid dangling participle and incorrect noun.
× Well yes, I still going to parks now and to relax and unwind after a busy schedule but the focus has shifted and nowadays I am going for walking or just to get some fresh air.
✓ Well yes, I still go to parks now to relax and unwind after a busy schedule, but the focus has shifted and nowadays I go for a walk or just to get some fresh air.
'still going' is missing auxiliary or incorrect form; use simple present 'go' for habitual actions. 'am going for walking' is incorrect: use 'go for a walk' or 'go walking'. Also punctuation: add comma before 'but'. Suggestion: use simple present for routines and correct collocations: 'go to parks', 'go for a walk'.
× Yes, I would like more parks in my city because green spaces let me breathe fresh air and relax after a busy day.
✓ Yes, I would like more parks in my city because green spaces let me breathe fresh air and relax after a busy day.
No grammatical correction needed; sentence is correct. (Included to show checked; no change required.)
× I'd also take my younger siblings there so they can play on the playground and enjoy being close to nature.
✓ I'd also take my younger siblings there so they could play on the playground and enjoy being close to nature.
The earlier clause 'I would like more parks' sets a hypothetical or conditional mood; use 'could' or 'would be able to' for consistency when referring to what siblings would do. Suggestion: keep modal consistency in conditional/hypothetical contexts.
× Yes, I would like to go to Monada Park because of it's a picturesque Ave.
✓ Yes, I would like to go to Monada Park because it's a picturesque avenue.
Two issues: "it's" is correct for 'it is' but original used "of it's" which is incorrect; remove 'of'. Also 'Ave.' is an abbreviation and should be 'avenue' in full in speech. Suggestion: use 'because it's a picturesque avenue' or 'because it's picturesque'.
× It's actually very charming park and it helps you to experience several activities for free, for example hiking with group of friends.
✓ It's actually a very charming park and it allows you to experience several activities for free, for example hiking with a group of friends.
Missing article before 'very charming park' — should be 'a very charming park'. 'Helps you to experience' is awkward; 'allows you to experience' or 'offers' is better. Also 'with group of friends' needs indefinite article 'a group of friends'. Suggestion: include appropriate articles and choose verbs that fit context ('allow/offer' rather than 'help' for opportunities).
