I grew up in a rural area, so I certainly understand. However, I would not consider a place to drop off recycling or grass clippings (which is most common in my hometown) to be a place to socialize/exercise/explore, which all nominations must meet at least one of. You drop off, and then you leave, and that’s even what I do in the city I live in now.
