activities that play an essential role in people's lifestyles. Urban areas
with recreational facilities, such as green spaces, invite city residents to
spend their leisure time in places where they can benefit from nature
(Lawal et al., 2011). As elements of the urban landscape, parks have
numerous functions, such as providing environmental benefits through
active and passive recreation and being wildlife habitats (Solecki and
Welch, 1995).Almost all of the parks under the responsibility of Aydın
Metropolitan Municipality and T.R. Efeler Municipality have “seating
units” (95.65% and 83.33%, respectively), and most have “sports and
fitness equipment” (82.61% and 43.10%, respectively) and “children’s
playgrounds” (56.52% and 61.49%, respectively). Whereas only one
park under the responsibility of Aydın Metropolitan Municipality has a
“bicycle path” and “skateboard track,” no parks under the responsibility
of T.R. Efeler Municipality have a “skateboard track” and “chess area.”
While there was no statistically significant difference between the
neighborhoods in terms of the number of activities according to socioeconomic
status, a statistically significant difference was identified in
terms of the number of activities between the parks under the
responsibility of Aydın Metropolitan Municipality and T.R. Efeler
Municipality.
