All regulations around us that are made for human needs are possible only through a good design and practice-integrity by covering all people and by considering all needs that emerge from such factors as age and physical conditions and that require a general and special sensitivity. In this sense, one of the most important issues in the transformation of recreational open areas into livable environment is the accessibility. This study basically aims at reviewing those studies that discussed restrictors that prevented the disabled people from accessing to recreational activities in urban areas. Therefore; a search was made by using such key words as recreation, leisure, disabled, physical activity and the relevant studies were studied in detail. As a result of the review, the most important factor that restricted the disabled people was identified. In light of the findings, such classifications as environmental and structural, psychological and emotional, economical and legal/procedural factors were explored. In sum, it was concluded that environmental and structural factors were the most restrictive factor for the disabled people. In order to eliminate these restrictors identified, recommendations were made with physical environment solutions.
