I will say I've probably spent at least a hundred times as much time in back yards as front yards and it is great to live right next to a park (which I've managed to do twice). > "If I wanted to play badminton or read on a lawn chair I would just go to one of the parks within a few blocks' walk." I think maybe this is like the difference between having a computer with internet in your pocket vs having one in your basement (or a few blocks away!). In theory, you can go use it whenever you want. In practice, immediate availability changes habits and ways of life.
