Maybe it doesn't matter in theory, but in practice they're usually really different. Public spaces tend to emphasize nature more, and tend to be larger and quieter - an ideal environment for relaxing and letting the mind stretch out. Parks don't have an agenda. Commercial spaces typically are small, loud, and filled with kids. They're designed to be more about resting in between commercial activity.
