Abstract

Urban residents are troubled by the fast pace and stress, making physical and mental health a focus of concern. Returning to nature and seeking leisure and relaxation has become a widely desired lifestyle. Suburban parks, with their convenient locations and natural ecological environments, are becoming the best choice for citizens to experience high-quality recreational activities in a short period of time. Recreational facilities in suburban parks are an essential part of the park's public service facilities. When designing, it is important to consider the recreational behavior characteristics and needs of users to enhance the quality of the design and meet the needs of users. This paper takes the Shanghai Langxia Suburban Park as the main research object. Through on-site research and questionnaire surveys, it analyzes the needs of visitors and the main existing problems of recreational facilities in suburban parks. Then, based on the recreational needs, it proposes some suggestions for improving the design of recreational facilities, hoping to provide a certain reference for the design of urban public service facilities.
