Google Maps Adding Parks to ‘Street View’ [VIDEO]

Who doesn't love a park?  I know I do.  But are you one of those people who would love to experience all the beauty of these outdoor oases without even having to go outside?  If you're answer is yes, well does Google ever have a surprise for you!

Google Blog reports that they are adding some of the worlds most unique parks to the "Street View" function of Google Maps.  Traditionally, "Street View" has been used to get a first-person view of many areas all over the world, which is particularly useful when preparing to travel somewhere you've never been before (It's kept me from getting lost on numerous occasions).

Check out the video below about the addition of High Line Park in Manhattan to the "Street View" feature.  Other parks being added include Kensington Gardens in London, and Koganei Park in Tokyo.
