What is a business park?

[Mister Micawber]

Well, Isabel, the statement given is rather a definition of a business park--

[A] whole site [that] has nothing but offices and administration centres.

A business park is a large expanse of land devoted to commerce and/or manufacture rather than private residences. The better ones are nicely laid out, and have plenty of trees, hedges and flower gardens among the buildings-- hence, a 'park'.
