Would you like to see more parks in your city?

Yes, I would like to see more parks in my city because several neighborhoods lack green spaces and having nearby parks would encourage families to spend time outdoors. Parks also improve air quality and provide places for children to play and for adults to exercise, such as walking paths or playgrounds can play a very vital role in.

× After tutoring, my mother or my grandfather would often take me there and I enjoyed the rides and usually spent more than an hour playing with them.
✓ After tutoring, my mother or my grandfather often took me there; I enjoyed the rides and usually spent more than an hour playing with them.
Mixed use of 'would often take' with simple past 'enjoyed' and 'spent' creates tense inconsistency. Use simple past consistently for past habits. Also remove redundant 'would' and replace comma with semicolon for clarity.
× Sometimes I would bring a shuttle **** and bed winter racket to play with my mother or my grandfather.
✓ Sometimes I brought a shuttlecock and a wooden racket to play with my mother or my grandfather.
The original sentence uses unclear words 'shuttle ****' and 'bed winter racket' which appear to be incorrect nouns. Use correct vocabulary: 'shuttlecock' (for badminton) and 'racket' with an appropriate adjective if needed. Use simple past 'brought' to match past narrative.
× Yes, I like to go to parks nowadays also whenever I get some time and mainly after having my dinner, I usually go to nearby my park that is located near to my home and also spend half an hour by walking over there.
✓ Yes, I like to go to parks nowadays whenever I have some time, mainly after dinner; I usually go to the park near my home and spend about half an hour walking there.
Original has awkward word order and redundant phrases ('nearby my park', 'located near to my home', 'by walking over there'). Use present simple for habitual actions ('have', 'go', 'spend'), correct word order ('the park near my home'), and concise expressions ('about half an hour walking there').
× Yes, I would like to see more parks in my city because several neighborhoods lack green spaces and having nearby parks would encourage families to spend time outdoors.
✓ Yes, I would like to see more parks in my city because several neighborhoods lack green spaces, and having nearby parks would encourage families to spend time outdoors.
Missing comma before coordinating conjunction joining two independent clauses. Adding the comma improves readability and correctly links the clauses.
× Parks also improve air quality and provide places for children to play and for adults to exercise, such as walking paths or playgrounds can play a very vital role in.
✓ Parks also improve air quality and provide places for children to play and adults to exercise; facilities such as walking paths and playgrounds can play a very vital role.
Original sentence is ungrammatical due to misplaced clause 'such as walking paths or playgrounds can play a very vital role in.' Rearranged to separate ideas and use correct relative phrasing. Use semicolon to separate related independent clauses and list facilities clearly.
× I saw it before and thought it was beautiful but it's currently closed for renovations from some time.
✓ I saw it before and thought it was beautiful, but it has been closed for renovations for some time.
Use present perfect 'has been closed' to indicate a state that began in the past and continues to the present. Replace 'from some time' with 'for some time' which is the correct prepositional phrase.
× So I would like definitely go again when the work is finished and also recommend that park to my family and my friends.
✓ So I would definitely like to go again when the work is finished and also recommend that park to my family and friends.
Incorrect word order 'would like definitely go' — place adverb 'definitely' before the base verb phrase: 'would definitely like to go' or 'would like to go again.' Also remove redundant 'my' before 'friends' for natural phrasing.
