Methods of determining the quality of projective coverage of the territory were used, the degree of degradation of natural landscapes was assessed based on the state of grass cover, the balance of the area of use of the territory of parks was calculated based on the results of the analysis of the road and path network of parks. Also carried out an assessment of the carrying capacity of the territory of parks, calculated the average annual recreational load and recreational capacity of the territory of parks.
