Etymology
The root ن-ز-ه carries the core sense of being remote from something impure or tiresome. Classical usage tied it to distancing oneself from filth or bad conduct, which gave Arabic نزيه, upright, and نزاهة, integrity. The same root produced the idea of going out to a clean, pleasant place away from routine, which became تنزّه, to take a recreational outing. مُنْتَزَه is the place noun built on that pattern, literally a place one goes for an outing, hence park or resort.
