park
'der Park' and 'die Farm' can both refer to a defined area or facility. 'der Park' is often a green space for recreation, but it can also be an area for a specific purpose, for example 'ein Freizeitpark' (an amusement park) or 'Industriepark' (industrial park). 'die Farm' is an agricultural business with animals or plants; in modern language, it can also be a facility for mass production, for example 'eine Datenfarm' (a data farm). Learners may confuse the words because they sound similar and both refer to places or facilities. For recreation or a purpose-built area, you are more likely to say 'Park'; for agriculture or production, 'Farm' fits.
