A significant share of the area of landscaping of these parks falls on the plantings planted and preserved to fulfil recreational functions within the city. The consequences of urbanization, active anthropogenic load, often unjustified impact and pollution of the park territory, spontaneous alienation of the territory for infrastructure objects, disturbance factors and transport impact are analyzed. 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.
