In Finland we have “Everyman’s Right” which is the right to access nature on private land without needing the owner’s permission.
You can walk, hike, cycle, swim, pick berries/mushrooms, and camp temporarily, as long as you stay away from homes, gardens, and cultivated fields. Making a fire is however not allowed without permission.
Yes I’ve heard of that and I’m happy for you all over there.
But are you allowed to just lay around doing nothing in a public space?
Whatever the case, laying around doing nothing in public is pretty much illegal in the United states. It’s considered loitering, which is a crime. Except for on beaches.
Well yeah, even here in the UK the police or anyone won’t bother if you’re just sitting somewhere in public and not causing a breach of the peace… I mean when the sun eventually comes out, you’ll see people laid out on every available bit of green space to soak it up.

Your legal system seems very… antisocial?
