A rapid urbanization throughout the years leads to environmental issues and give damage to natural settings. The city needs a recreational park to live the society for many physical and social activities. The study aims to identify the factors influencing visitors’ satisfaction to recreational park in four selected parks in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor, namely Taman Tasik Shah Alam, Taman Tasik Titiwangsa, Taman Metropolitan Kepong, and KLCC Park. A total of 100 respondents were involved with a convenience sampling method. Three key attributes were asked in the survey including degree of comfort, accessibility and linkages, and facilities and amenities provided.
