Is it really like U.S. “free speech zones?” Or is it not more analogous to London’s Speakers’ Corner? —Wiki Wikardo 10:04, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would say there's no exact counterpart. A freedom park is normally constrained to the boundaries of a pre-existing public space, unlike free speech zones in the U.S. which are set up just about anywhere. Meanwhile, a freedom park normally encompasses the entire park as opposed to a part of it, which would be the case for a Speakers' Corner. --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 19:02, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
