When was the last time you went to a park?

Not like a small park with like a swingset and maybe a couple grills.

Im talking a big park, with hiking trails and campgrounds and scenic overlooks and shit.

Me?

Way too goddamn long.

Upwards of 5 years. 

I don't think quite ten, but pretty dang close.

I need to get back to nature, brother.

Maybe 2003?  That was probably the last time I went to watch the fireworks at Grant Park in Chicago.

I was going to go the next year for Taste of Chicago, even walked to an ATM a couple blocks away to get some cash for it, then after getting cash decided against it.  Got home after getting some Chinese food and found out there'd been shots fired at the entrance I would have gone in about the same time I would have got there.

There's a nature preserve with trails for walking or biking or horses and such just down the road that We stroll through fairly regularly. They don't have any camping though. 

There's a place on a lake that's about an hour away that Our family has sort of designated as the new big get-together location now that grandma's farm is not available (they sold the literal one when she bought the proverbial one). It's got a lodge, plus some cabins, as well as a camp site for tents or RVs or whatever. We were there last April, and We think there's going to be another in September.

I got several parks really close by; i mean at least two are within a 20 minute walk or so, probably less.

That's like, a mile away. How do you not. 

East TN is almost nothing but state and national parks and wildlife preserves and general rural spaces so I get that my situation isn't typical, but some of these answers sound totally insane. Five years or more?? Not even a day trip?
