So, in a word, one cannot go to a park for nature. More hi-tech bum-rammed. My local ark by a river celebrates nature by playing Muzak. There are days ones prays for a salvatory asteroid, there are.

Look out world – by 2022, Beijing’s parks are going smart! Building smart public parks is a core component of the national Smart City pilot program. As one of these pilot cities, Beijing issued the Guide for the Construction of Beijing Smart Parks – laying the groundwork to make all of the city's 1,090 parks high-tech. The objective: automating many elements of park maintenance and increasing the interactivity of parks with local visitors.
Curious what these futuristic green spaces can do? Though it will be a couple of years until the tech is rolled out throughout the city, a few select parks are experimenting right now. Here are a few examples:
Xihai Wetland Park is among Beijing's model smart parks. Xihai Park uses an integrated high-tech network to manage facility upkeep and routine maintenance. Some examples of its bells and whistles include:
In Haidian Park, even the grounds want you to exercise and take out the trash.
So, what's next for Beijing's parks? As 2022 approaches, get used to similar standards for all of Beijing's parks. Whether its cool, creepy or somewhere in between, smart parks are in line with broad goals for the city's development – using high-tech solutions and widespread monitoring to accomplish a range of urban planning goals.
