    Background and Objective: nowadays, modern life of humans has lead people to need more to visit natural recreation sites. Therefore, evaluating recreation value of natural promenades could show that how important role they have in our new lifestyle. This caused to be our first priority in our modern life to protect from these recreation sites. Method: Analyzed factors that affect on the recreation value in travel cost method is the first aim of this study, and second aim is to estimate the recreation value by using the travel cost method. According to these factors, twenty circles with equal distances of two Km were drawn. The Results: Finally, the primary recreation value of Sorkheh Hesar national park based on the accessibility cost, which had been calculated 2,625,249,000 Rial in each month, by estimating the surface area under the demand curve. In order to find out which factors could affect on recreation value, a model had been developed by using 25 parameters. According to this model, visitor’s marital status, the distance between the habitat to the promenade, number of visitors, the brightness and the quality of cleaning were the most affecting factors in the recreation value model. Conclusion: The results show that, there is a direct relationship between the improvement of the quality of lightning and the recreational value. This direct relationship also exists between the number of visitors and recreation value. On the other hand, if the lightning quality improves and the amount of visitors increase the recreation value of Sorkheh Hesar national park will increase too. But, increasing the rate of single visitors and reducing the quality of cleaning would cause recreation value to decrease in this national park. Manuscript profile
