× Growing up I've been a really physical person as a kid as well and right now it's 2.
✓ Growing up, I was a very active child, and now I'm 22.
This sentence mixes present perfect continuous ('I've been') with past context and contains unclear 'right now it's 2.' Use simple past ('I was') for childhood state and a clear present expression for current age. Also 'physical person' is unnatural; 'active' is more appropriate. Suggestion: separate past and present into two clauses and state age explicitly.
× So I yes, I absolutely loved going to parks because at the parks it was a way to get away from the stress of studying and just hang out with friends, play around, jump around, burn some calories and just no stress.
✓ Yes, I absolutely loved going to parks because they were a way to get away from the stress of studying, hang out with friends, play, run around, burn some calories, and relax.
Redundant and informal fragments ('So I yes') and awkward phrasing ('at the parks'). Use plural 'parks' as subject and parallel verb forms for the activities ('hang out, play, run around'). Replace 'just no stress' with 'relax' for grammaticality and clarity.
× The reason I used to go to parks was for, uh, getting in some exercise and socializing with my friends.
✓ The reason I used to go to parks was to get some exercise and socialize with my friends.
After 'was', use an infinitive ('to get', 'to socialize') rather than 'for getting'. Using infinitives makes purpose clearer and is more natural. Also remove filler 'uh'.
× Now, because of the age of social media, we usually do that online, uh, by playing games on our computers or Playstations.
✓ Now, because of the age of social media, we usually do that online by playing games on our computers or PlayStations.
Main error is punctuation/filler; preposition use is acceptable but 'PlayStations' capitalization standardized. Remove filler 'uh' and the extra comma before 'by'. Ensure consistent product name formatting.
× So I have, I'm not really into going into parks anymore.
✓ So I am not really into going to parks anymore.
Awkward phrasing 'So I have, I'm' is incorrect. Use a single, clear present-tense clause. Also 'going into parks' is unnatural — use 'going to parks'.
× I think yes, again, since, uh, due to social media and online technology increasing quite a lot, the people have been glued onto their phones.
✓ I think so. Again, because social media and online technology have grown a lot, people have become glued to their phones.
Use 'I think so' instead of 'I think yes'. 'Due to' followed by 'since' is redundant. 'The people' is incorrect generalization; use 'people'. Use 'glued to' not 'glued onto'. Use present perfect 'have become' to show change over time.
× That's why I feel like if uh, my city Mumbai has more parks, people would be able to socialize with each other in person and get some exercise done as well.
✓ That's why I feel that if my city, Mumbai, had more parks, people would be able to socialize in person and get some exercise as well.
This conditional refers to a hypothetical present situation, so use past tense in the if-clause ('had') with 'would' in the result clause. Remove filler 'uh' and unnecessary 'each other' after 'socialize', and 'get some exercise done' -> 'get some exercise' for natural phrasing.
× A park that's been on my bucket list is the Hyde Park in London.
✓ A park that's been on my bucket list is Hyde Park in London.
When naming well-known parks, omit the definite article before the proper name 'Hyde Park'. 'The Hyde Park' is unnecessary and unidiomatic.
× Uh, I think it has, it's quite a huge park and it has quite the scenic, uh, beauty as well as, uh, people can easily socialize with each other, play sports, uh, have a picnic and have so many activities together.
✓ I think it's a very large park with beautiful scenery, where people can easily socialize, play sports, have picnics, and do many activities together.
Remove filler 'uh' and repetitive 'it has, it's'. Use 'a very large park' instead of 'quite a huge' (redundant). 'Quite the scenic beauty' is awkward; use 'beautiful scenery'. Use a relative clause 'where' to link the park to the activities and use parallel verb forms for the list.
