Abstract
Most Nigeria towns are short of recreational open space despite express demand and rising leisure pursuits by urban dwellers. In view of this, it is necessary to make a realistic assessment of how potential recreation resources can be developed for optional use. The use of forest reserves for recreation pursuits is one of the ways of relieving urban area in Nigeria which are grossly deficient in recreational forest reserves. There is evidence that urban dwellers informally use existing forest reserves for recreational purpose, especially those within reach of urban populace. To this end, this study examines the rationale and potentials of developing forest reserves to provide for recreational needs of urban dwellers in Nigeria with a case study of Eleyele forest reserve in Ibadan, Oyo Stste
