To analyze data, the Social Sciences Statistical Package (SPSS) was utilized. Of this package, a number of statistical analysis methods, such as Analysis of Variances (ANOVA), Spearman correlation, and Scheffe Pos – Hoc was used to calculate the correlative relations among the study’s independent and dependent variables. The study found that the distribution of recreational facilities in Jeddah is cluster, because most of these facilities are located in the north and north west part of the city, either because it is connected to the sea shore, or because of the availability of space needed for new urban spread. The study found that six major independent variables (age, marital statues, work, education, income, and number of children in the family) were affecting women’s decision to utilize recreational facilities. Women preferred closed markets (Malls) over the sea beach and public gardens. Results also reveled that young, single, and highly educated women preferred to perform their recreational activities outdoor, while married housewives, with more children tend to spend their recreational time indoors, in public gardens, and on the free public sea shore. The nature of work, friends accompany, the availability of children’s recreational activities, presence of servants and drivers, and a higher income were all factors encouraging women to visit recreational facilities. Finally, the study found that the lack of different kinds of recreational activities especially children’s activities, high prices, low income, insecurity, and restrictions imposed by husbands and parents, were the most discouraging factors affecting women’s visitation to recreational facilities.
