ABSTRACT
City Park is essentially a public space and a part of the green open space that can be utilized as a public recreational facility. Most of Bandung citizens now are considered as a modern urban community with high mobility that requires them to do many activities outside rather than at home. This research aims to provide an overview of City Park’s role model through visitors’ perception and characteristics that can be used by the government to improve parks’ function as recreational facilities for public. The method used for this research was a descriptive statistical analysis as a hypothesis test and difference average test (Independent t-test). The participants of this research are 100 citizens of Bandung who are likely to be loyal city park visitors. The result of this research discovers that the city park characteristics itself give an influence on how the visitors’ characteristic is going to be. From this research, it is expected that citizens of Bandung will take benefit from City Park as their recreational space in their leisure time and help the government of Bandung to achieve their long-term target regarding green open spaces in Bandung.
