I believe the answer is:

common sense

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the practicality' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a park in a built-up area?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'park' could be 'commons' (synonyms) and 'commons' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to have' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for common sense that I've seen before include "realistic" , "Sound practical judgement" , "Good judgment" , "Prudence" , "Gumption" .)
