Nowadays human activity and its impact on the environment has wide dimension with pollution and environmental destruction effects reaching all over the world. The concept of urban environment is not imaginable without green spaces in its various forms. Green spaces have undeniable roles in support of social and ecological systems of the city. Although the factors and events affecting the cultural and social situation in the past have caused forgetfulness of the need to recreation and its effects, but analysis of the forces and factors related to the demand for leisure and recreation in the country shows that this need is increasing rapidly. The optimal management of planted forest park in a city is carried out on the basis of environmental capacities, within the greater plan for compatibility with the intended area and coping with social and cultural damages as part of a comprehensive environmental management program. In this study, the effective measures in the management of sustainable use of Cheetgar Forest Park were checked and identified. The results suggest that Cheetgar Forest Park as a recreation and tourism space has an important role in complying with the needs of tourists in Tehran. However, the park needs arrangements to increase the quality and attract more users so that the leisure time requirement of people and tourists can be satisfied based on sustainable tourism and development.
