Abstract: Open green space in neighbourhood primarily meant for recreation. Recreation is always been an integral part of human life for being physically and mentally fit. Quantity and quality of open spaces, parks in particular, provide opportunities for recreation and social interactions that provide quality of life to residents. Due to lack of quality standards for open space, park potentials in terms of recreation are not being utilized properly. This paper aims to understand the recreational aspect of open green space and their contribution in recreational needs in neighbourhood. Recreational aspects of the park can be understood by investigating park quality and user experience, here park quality assessment based on quality for neighbourhood park criteria (QNPC). The study focuses on green open space in a planned residential area in Faridabad an industrial town in NCR region. The Methodology follows a qualitative approach; field observation and interviews of park users Result reveal that without quality, the quantity of parks did not satisfy user’s recreational experience. Findings also act as a performance indicator of existing parks and provide guidelines for further work of the urban local bodies on green open spaces in a residential area.
