More than just aesthetic appeal, these features—like gardens, native plants, water features, and open green areas—improve psychological well-being and create a sense of connectedness to the natural world, which benefits the user experience as a whole. Notwithstanding the well-established benefits of sustainable building, little is known about the precise function of green landscape elements in community sports facilities and how they affect patron happiness and wellbeing. The current study fills this gap by examining the psychological, environmental, and aesthetic impacts of integrating natural components into these institutions' architectural designs. This study used a mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative interviews with users, architects, and urban planners to better understand how people perceive the value of green features. In sporting facilities with differing degrees of green integration, quantitative surveys evaluate psychological impact, aesthetic appreciation, and user happiness. Results are anticipated to show that establishments with thoughtfully integrated green elements offer a more pleasurable and fulfilling setting, possibly boosting patron loyalty and well-being. In order to include green components in a way that improves sustainability and usability, the study provides architects and urban planners with helpful suggestions. Using native plants to promote biodiversity, establishing open areas for community engagement, and adding water features to enhance atmosphere are among recommended best practices. These insights aim to support the development of sports centres that not only meet functional needs but also promote an ecological and user-centred approach to design. Future research should explore the long-term sustainability of green features in diverse climates and cultural contexts, broadening the applicability of these findings across various environmental and social settings.
