There are some perceptual features which could explicitly relate an object to aesthetic forms of response, which can be objectively assessed. From this perspective, it has been observed that objects have something special within their properties. The structural and physical characteristic features like the visual aesthetic condition of a recreational site will require conscientious and deliberate assessment for exterior furnishing which is lacking in most recreational open spaces. This paper unveils a statistically dependent assessment using both descriptive and Mann-Whitney -U test analysis to determine the design professionals’ perception of environmental aesthetics in recreational open spaces in Abeokuta. The design professionals were more critical of the scarcity of street furniture in the ROS which is indicative of their perception of the item as a composite element for environmental aesthetics in the study area. There is a differential response and sensitivity between the African and western perception of environmental aesthetics. Various interrelationships exist among the variables of Visual aesthetics quality which has been investigated through design professionals’ respondents, the outcome can enhance environmental aesthetics of recreational open spaces (ROS) for effective patronage. It is recommended that owners and managers of Recreation open spaces should provide adequate street furniture to create convenience for site visitors and enhance the aesthetics of the outdoor environment. The furniture should be selected and set up based on an analysis of the site’s current and desired patterns of use, in order to serve its desired purpose.
