× I used to be a shy person so the park was a place that I could make friends and play for example like hide and seek.
✓ I used to be a shy person, so the park was a place where I could make friends and play games, for example hide-and-seek.
The original sentence is mostly correct but has awkward wording and a missing plural for 'games'. Use 'where' to refer to a place, 'play games' is natural, and 'hide-and-seek' is the correct name. No past participle error per se, but this fits correction rules by improving verb phrase and noun form.
× I really had a great fun there.
✓ I really had great fun there.
'Fun' is an uncountable noun here, so do not use the article 'a'. Remove 'a' to make the sentence grammatically correct. Also 'really' is fine as an adverb intensifier.
× To be honest I grew up oppositely like for now and being like extort person.
✓ To be honest, I grew up differently and now I'm more of an extroverted person.
'Oppositely' is awkward and incorrect in this context; use 'differently'. 'For now' should be 'now'. 'Being like extort person' is incorrect: use 'I'm more of an extroverted person.' The corrections fix pronoun/phrase usage and adjective form.
× I'm more into city, I love activities like cinemas, cafe and I like being more outdoor with my friends in the.
✓ I'm more into the city; I love activities like going to the cinema and cafes, and I like being outdoors with my friends.
Use the definite article 'the city' for general preference. 'Cinemas' should be 'going to the cinema' or 'cinema' singular per activity; 'cafe' plural 'cafes'. 'Being more outdoor' is incorrect — use 'being outdoors'. Also remove the stray 'in the' at the end. These are adjective/adverb and article use issues.
× Oh yes absolutely I believe that having more green space areas could provide more trade and cool down in the hot day.
✓ Oh yes, absolutely. I believe that having more green spaces could encourage more trade and cool things down on hot days.
'Green space areas' is redundant; 'green spaces' is natural. 'Provide more trade' is awkward — use 'encourage more trade'. 'Cool down in the hot day' should be 'cool things down on hot days' to use correct article and plural form. This fixes article and noun phrasing.
× Also they could give like uh clam and relaxation environment for shy to grow out to grow up.
✓ Also, they could provide a calm and relaxing environment for shy people to grow and become more confident.
'Clam' is a misspelling of 'calm'. 'Relaxation environment' should be 'relaxing environment'. 'For shy to grow out to grow up' is ungrammatical; specify 'for shy people to grow and become more confident.' This corrects adjective forms and clarifies the subject.
× Umm yes there is.
✓ Umm yes, there is.
This is a punctuation issue rather than grammar: add a comma after 'yes' for natural speech. The structure 'there is' is acceptable when referring to a park, but keep it followed by the noun if possible in full sentence (e.g., 'Umm yes, there is one.').
× I would like to go to the park in the Singapore near the Barina Bay umm that gives uh coastal garden with the colourful flowers displays.
✓ I would like to go to the park in Singapore near Marina Bay that has coastal gardens with colourful flower displays.
Do not use 'the' before 'Singapore'. 'Barina Bay' seems to be a misspelling of 'Marina Bay'. Use 'near Marina Bay'. 'Gives uh coastal garden' is incorrect — use 'that has coastal gardens'. 'Colourful flowers displays' should be 'colourful flower displays'. These corrections fix prepositions, articles, and noun forms.
× So one day I would like to visit there.
✓ So one day I would like to visit there.
The sentence is grammatically acceptable for expressing future desire. A slightly more natural alternative is 'So one day I would like to visit it.' No tense change required; optional change corrects pronoun reference to 'it'.
