Making Urban Parks User Friendly, A Blue - Green Initiative & Climate Resilient Under Urban Planning Approach

The recreation can be classified basically into passive and active recreations. In urban planning the urban parks should be under passive recreation spaces and playground under active recreation spaces in land use planning. But the present land use planning under planning & development and governance authorities have clubbed both, thus people neither using park for passive purpose and nor as playground as most of the planning district and neighborhoods are not provided with playground. So aged people are inevitably using park by carrying children along with them as there are no dedicated space for children to play. The other significant observation is that 'can a urban park & open spaces under land use category is possible to plan for integrating under the requirement of present urban prerequisites. This paper has been developed to address these issues as principal component. The study has been carried by selecting planned neighborhood in the urban context of Mysore.
