A survey study conducted randomly in the cities of Erzurum, Erzincan and Kars included 360 subjects interviewed face to face. It was aimed to detect the subjective features of the participants such as gender, marital status, age, educational status and income level and the reflections of these features on the city parks. Conclusively, it was determined that those who are male, unmarried, at the age of between 19 and 24, university graduate and with a monthly income of 65–125 USD use the parks in majority. In the statistical analysis, the SPSS software was used and variables were compared. Chi-square (χ2) test was used to determine the independency correlations. According to the analysis, gender and income had no significant effect on the use of city parks, but marital status, age and education status had significant effects at 5% significance levels (*p<0.05p<0.05, χ2: 27.805; *p<0.05p<0.05, χ2: 44.073; *p<0.05p<0.05, χ2: 39.998, respectively).
