Hey Emarbe,
''In order to attend to the demand in summer , many people demand more parks,
the mores facilities the local council can provide , the best for the town.''
* I should say that no correction is needed for the sentence above. As opposed to what Chris said, I think that there is no need to use ''meet'' in this case, as the verb ''attend to'' befits the context quite perfectly!
* As for your question, the correct usage of the verb ''provide'' should be only ''provide'', without the ''with''. It makes the sentence much easier to understand. However, you might want to rewrite it, if you wish to:
1) ''...the mores facilities the local council can provide (for the people) , the best for the town.''
2) ''...It will be better for the town if the local council provides / can provide the people with more facilities.''
3) ''...It would be better for the town if the local council provided / could provide the people with more facilities.''
Hope that helps!

I would write this as: "In order to meet the demand in summer, many people demand more parks. The more facilities the local council can provide, the better for the town."
