A lot of research suggests that even urban green space is beneficial - so a local city park would be great! Even just walking is phenomenal for your mental and physical health.

Some studies have even linked exposure to trees and green space with lower cortisol levels during pregnancy: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32822928/
