Description This study validates the park usage scales for green open spaces in Malaysia.  The measures on park usage were developed using three usage scales, which are activities, passive activity and active activity.  Samples of 414 daily park users were analyzed, results showed good-fit indices on each construct confirming the theory behind each and every item used in the study.  Despite several reductions on the items, the Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA) on park usage yield good internal consistencies making it suitable for its use in the research design focusing in measuring the usage of Malaysian park users.Keywords: Park Usage; Green Open Spaces; Malaysian; Measurement; CFA.eISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.
