Green lands not only satisfy urban people's longing for nature, but also amend the negative aspects of urban life. In this sense, it is of great importance that the utilization of parks by urban people, which are one of the green lands, are examined in detail. The aims of this study are to reveal the utilization of the parks by the people of Burdur, and to determine the views of people in Burdur about the adequacy of the parks and their expectations about the parks. For this purpose, the survey method was used. Most of the participants stated that they visited the parks with their friends during the summer season, reached the parks on foot and spent 1-2 hours in the park. Cumhuriyet park was the most visited and liked park by the participants. 65% of the participants found the number of parks in Burdur enough.
