The development of comfortable urban parks is impossible without determining the priority needs and preferences of citizens. With the increasing pace of urbanization and the density of urban population, public green spaces must be designed to meet the needs of different categories and segments of the population. This is a difficult task, given the significant demand of urban parks, and the limited nature of their areas. Therefore, in order to increase the public and economic effects, the planning of park space must take into accountconsider the opinion of citizens. The purpose of this article is to present the results of sociological research in Ukraine on the satisfaction of the local parks and the formation of a universal and simple methodology of the questionnaire survey analysis. The research is based on the foreign experience of questioning the improvement of city parks and theoretical works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists on the importance of park space in cultural life. The accessibility of the questionnaire survey and its simple interpretation will allow in the future to introduce the survey in the practice of state and public institutions. The task of the questionnaire survey is to simplify the connection between state institutions and the public, to increase the level of mutual understanding and interaction. The following research methods were used in the article: questionnaire survey using electronic communication resources, analytical method and logical generalization. The questionnaire survey is constructed in such a way as to show the consumer potential of existing parks and consumer preferences of visitors.
