There might be parks within the walls of a gated community. Or there might be special parks, like a bird park or a japanese garden you might then need a ticket to enter.
Gezi Park is a public area in the heart of Istanbul. The value of the land must be astronomical. That's another reason why the government has no issues attacking the civilians. And they get this brutal because the value of each individual life (in their minds) is very very low.
