× Yes, I loved going to the parks as a child.
✓ Yes, I loved going to parks as a child.
The definite article 'the' implies specific parks previously mentioned; here the speaker refers to parks in general. Remove 'the' to indicate parks generally.
× There used to be a huge grey area at the centre of the park and I would love to go play there and make new friends.
✓ There used to be a huge grey area at the centre of the park and I would love to go and play there and make new friends.
The verb sequence 'go play' is informal; standard grammar requires 'go and play' or 'go to play' to indicate purpose. Insert 'and' to make the phrase grammatically correct.
× I still like going to parks, though it would be for different reasons.
✓ I still like going to parks, though it is for different reasons.
Using 'would' here is inappropriate because the speaker is describing current habitual preference. Replace 'would' with 'is' to match present tense and the habitual meaning.
× Uh, as an adult, I enjoy going to the parks for long walks and to rejuvenate after a long hectic day at work.
✓ Uh, as an adult, I enjoy going to parks for long walks and to rejuvenate after a long hectic day at work.
'The parks' suggests specific parks; the speaker speaks generally about parks. Remove 'the' to correctly express general meaning.
× Uh, it helps me clear my head and uh, gives me fresh sense of feeling.
✓ Uh, it helps me clear my head and, uh, gives me a fresh sense of feeling.
Missing article 'a' before 'fresh sense'. Also 'sense of feeling' is awkward; consider 'a fresh feeling' or 'a renewed sense' for natural expression. Added 'a' to fix article error and improve grammar.
× I think with the growing pollution in in my city, it becomes more essential for us to have more parks.
✓ I think with the growing pollution in my city, it becomes more essential for us to have more parks.
Duplicate preposition 'in in' is a typographical error. Remove the extra 'in' to correct the preposition usage.
× Uh, one like I mentioned, as an adult I like taking long walks in the park it and it helps me refresh after a long hectic day.
✓ Uh, as I mentioned, as an adult I like taking long walks in the park, and it helps me refresh after a long hectic day.
Original sentence has redundant phrasing 'one like I mentioned' and a misplaced 'it'. Rephrase to 'as I mentioned' and add comma and conjunction to join clauses. Also 'refresh' is fine but 'refresh myself' or 'feel refreshed' would be more natural.
× I think a lot of adults.
✓ I think a lot of adults feel the same.
The original is a sentence fragment lacking a verb and completing thought. Add a verb phrase to form a complete sentence and clarify the idea.
× There are no specific parks as such that I would like to go in the future.
✓ There are no specific parks that I would like to go to in the future.
The verb 'go' requires the preposition 'to' when indicating a destination. Place 'to' after 'go' or reposition phrase to 'go to in the future'. Also 'as such' is unnecessary and can be omitted for clarity.
