As a resident I'd prefer to hang out in a park that isn't covered in dog pee and also be a lot safer at the same time.
People visiting the neighborhoods would likely enjoy them more than the people living in the area.

Lake Shore Park is a nice oasis in a sea of high-rise buildings.
I like sitting on a bench at that park with my dog Rusty, enjoying a relaxing view of the Hancock. But you also have the more athletically inclined enjoying a jog on the track or a playing a game of tennis.
There are a lot of people in the neighborhood who live in buildings that don't have an amenity deck.
And the people I know who live in a building with a deck, often prefer visiting a park to sitting on their building's deck.
