Abstract
The study examined perception of users on the need for Universal Design (U.D.) in Recreation Centres in Ogun State Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey method was adopted with stratified random Sampling. A sample size of 100 instead of expected minimum of 53 from maximum 2,650 estimated daily users of the nine standard recreational facilities in the State. A questionnaire was randomly administered to the users of the facilities in the State, to harness their views on need for U.D. in them. Data gathered were appropriately analysed. Findings showed that the facilities have good accessibility and usability. It was recommended that management and architects, among others involved with designing and constructing recreational facilities should ensure conformity to U.D. principles for improved accessibility and usability for all users without discrimination
