× No, I do not like going to park when I was young since it was really hot in the summer of my city.
✓ No, I did not like going to the park when I was young since it was really hot in the summers in my city.
Tense mismatch and article omission: The question asks about childhood, so past tense 'did not like' is correct instead of present 'do not like'. 'going to park' needs the definite article 'the park' because we refer to parks in general as a place; also 'the summer of my city' is unnatural — use 'summers in my city' or 'the summer in my city'. Use plural 'summers' if referring to repeated seasons. Improve by matching past tense and adding the article before 'park'.
× So going to the park will be a challenge for me since I do not like this.
✓ So going to the park was a challenge for me since I did not like it.
Tense consistency: The first sentence refers to childhood, so continue in the past tense rather than using future 'will be'. Also replace vague pronoun 'this' with 'it' after 'like'. Keep tense consistent and use a clear pronoun reference.
× Yes, I like to go to park right now since I think I'm a little bit overweighted, so I plan to go to park every weekend for a jog or a small walk to keep myself fit.
✓ Yes, I like to go to the park now since I think I'm a little bit overweight, so I plan to go to the park every weekend for a jog or a short walk to keep myself fit.
Article and word choice errors: Use 'the park' with the definite article when speaking about parks in general in your city. 'Right now' can be shortened to 'now'. 'Overweighted' is incorrect; use 'overweight'. 'Small walk' is awkward; use 'short walk'. Maintain present tense 'like' and 'plan' which are correct; fix articles and vocabulary.
× Well in my opinion the amount of parks in my city was enough, so more parks may use more public funds and that is unnecessary.
✓ Well, in my opinion the number of parks in my city is enough, so building more parks may use more public funds and that would be unnecessary.
Word choice and tense: 'Amount' is used for uncountable nouns; parks are countable so use 'number'. Use present tense 'is enough' for a current opinion. 'More parks may use more public funds' is awkward: say 'building more parks may use more public funds' or 'would require more public funds'. Also 'that is unnecessary' is better as 'that would be unnecessary' to indicate a conditional judgment.
× Well, I think I would like to go to a National Park in the rainforest.
✓ Well, I think I would like to go to a national park in the rainforest.
Capitalization and article: 'national park' is not a proper noun unless naming a specific park, so lowercase is correct. The sentence's modal 'would like' is acceptable for expressing desire. No tense issue; only capitalization adjusted.
× I really want full jog in the rainforest to see the biodiversity and to have, uh, time with nature.
✓ I really want to go for a full jog in the rainforest to see the biodiversity and to have time with nature.
Missing verb structure and article: 'want full jog' is ungrammatical; use 'want to go for a full jog' or 'want a full jog'. Include 'a' before 'full jog' and the verb 'go for'. Also remove filler 'uh' in formal responses. 'Biodiversity' is fine; 'have time with nature' works but 'spend time in nature' is more natural. Suggestion: 'I really want to go for a full jog in the rainforest to see the biodiversity and to spend time in nature.'
