What about "The park is close to their school"?

Yes. Your response is correct. Please report it if you have not done so already. Thanks!

They accept it.

[AlyciaPete]

There's a park near their school.

That's not correct! The Chinese statement says: The park is near their school. The statement implies that the speaker is talking about an already mentioned park, and now he/she is determining the park's location. Whereas your statement implies that the speaker is mentioning about a park for the first time, and that its location is not the main focus of the sentence but its existence whereas in the Chinese sentence it's the park's location that's the main focus.
Your sentence is best translated as: 在他們的學校附近有公園。

Thanks for the explanation. I was going to ask the same thing as AlyciaPete!

[tomy466697]

I think so, too.

[ph.BG35oX]

Their school is near a park......same thing, surely!

[DeeCahyadi]

The park is nearby their school.

[johnsark]

That doesn't sound right to me!

[hippietrail]

Correct. It's a common Chinglish mistake to use "nearby" as a preposition whereas it can only be an adverb.

"Near their school" - OK. "Nearby their school" - NO. "there's a park nearby" is grammatical, but can't be a correct answer to this one of course.

It must be a common native mistake too because I'm British native and would use near and nearby interchangeably!

[SzymonRuci]

the park is around their school should be accepted

[HyeInKil]

park is near their shcool

[hippietrail]

In English you have to have some kind of article or determiner before "park": "the park", "a park", "that park", "their park", etc.
