This study focused on the linear river park, which has been recently established along the Pedieos River. The study explored people’s perceptions and satisfaction with the river park services and assessed the role of climatic conditions on human thermal comfort. Park visitors identified physical exercise as the main service of the linear park, followed by nature, cooling, and socializing.
