鄰里公園在都市居民的日常生活上扮演著極重要的角色，它不僅提供居民休閒遊憩及運動的場地，亦改善都市環境品質，提供市民社交之機會。然這些日漸增加的鄰里公園，是否滿足了居民的休閒需求則是一值得檢討的課題。本研究之目的即利用總滿意度、公園之數量、公園分佈狀況、其規劃設計、環境品質、施工品質及維護狀況等若干個指標來探討台中市市民對鄰里公園使用的滿意程度如何？並試著瞭解市民對鄰里公園的滿意程度是否與其休閒生活態度及使用公園的習慣有關？
本研究於台中市各休閒場所進行問春調查，共回收619份有效問春，經過統計分析、檢定後，由結果得知：市民對公園各項滿意度並不高，且各項滿意度與市民之社經背景、休閒生活態度及公園使用狀況有關。
