Conclusions. Primarily, Ancient garden forms as agricultural (Alkinoy “fruitful” gardens) or as sacral space for implementation of a religious cult (cult of nymphs and heroin). However, over time perception of the garden as special space (distinctive from urban), and designed not only for ground cultivation but also for relax, admiring the beauty of nature and nationwide celebrations (Aristophanes, Libanius, Plato, Strabo), creates the precondition for garden and park space formation as leisure. A lot of public facilities, such as gymnasium, stadiums, arbors for meetings, libraries, hotels and bath, which by gardens and parks promote for realization different social and meaningful functions – recreational, wellness, communicative and educational, are built on the territory of gardens and parks in Ancient Greece.

A public park is regarded as particular space distinctive from another by its location, social purpose, aesthetic filling and educational potential.
