Urban parks in Dhaka city started developing during colonial period in the early twentieth century, but after the foundation of Bangladesh republic in 1971, the need for urban parks became greater as the city expanded and urban population rapidly grew. For Dhaka, it was also seen to start slowly after World War II, when Asian countries gained independence, and then Dhaka became the second capital of newly independent Pakistan (1947-1971). This study carried out on users of three representative parks (Ramna park, Bahadurshah park, and Gulshan lake park) of Dhaka city to determine individual features, their recreational needs and level of satisfaction. Surveys on users are important for planning, design and management processes of urban parks. The adequacy of Dhaka's urban parks has also been determined through the examination of user satisfaction. It was revealed through the survey outcomes at great extent that the users of Dhaka's urban parks primarily visit parks for passive recreation in a natural landscape. Among the users, 25-45 years old married male persons belonging lower income group are larger in number in general, though each park has its own user characteristics based on the socio-economic environment. Cross table data analysis were done and the variables were compared, and a chi-square (X^2) test was carried out.
