Today, tourism certainly can be a sustainable resource of income. In areas with higher density, there is higher needs for a place to spend leisure time on one hand and on the other hand the need for employment is more severely felt. Shahreyar with a population of one million is a large population center in Tehran province. A large part of this population depends on Tehran or Karaj for their income and even for spending their free time which results in increasing traffic jams of these metropolises. The area is a green plain covered with fruit gardens whose beauty and maintenance depends on planning and increasing the benefits of garden owners. Otherwise, these gardens will end in the construction section as it has happened in the last few years. In the present research, the area was investigated from different perspectives and field information were collected. Results indicate that the area is in need of powerful planners with the capability of long term planning and providing the necessary requirements to attract capital and create confidence for investment in building new creative contexts and eliminating or minimizing limitations and obstacles. Obviously, green plain of Shahreyar has more powerful rivals like towns in North of Tehran and if it is going to maintain its status, new plans must be implemented in the area.

Growth in urbanism and industry have provided the urban environment with many recreational possibilities and citizens can spend their free time in different clubs, computer game centers, etc. Yet, using natural environment, green space and parks will always be interesting and desirable due to human nature. Providing a quiet, beautiful and healthy life for the citizens need a creative thinking. Creating beauty needs a beautiful mind, which in turn is created in a beautiful space. Decorative flowers in beautiful vases, soft sound of water, green trees and grasses, comfortable benches, appropriate statues create a peaceful space in the park in which urban raucousness is replaced with peace of mind. In order to develop urban parks into appropriate spaces without stress and unnatural elements, some standards and principles seem essential. Considering some standards in building benches, water tanks, lightening, etc. help us in achieving main goals of urban planning (health, tranquility, beauty). Although green spaces play an essential role in maintaining the balance, they cannot prevent damages threatening suburban spaces. Considering this, it is clear that without a general plan green space cannot have the necessary efficiency in reducing environmental pollution. Unfortunately, some items and issues are seen in parks surrounding Zayande Rud whose status is lower than the standard, among which we can refer to most of rest rooms, water tanks, children playing areas, etc.
