      abstract = {The focus of this research is on the implementation of crowd management strategies to enhance crowd control and safety in the recreational facility located in Oguta, Imo State, Nigeria. According to Balogun (2021), Recreational facility has been in operation since 1940's and has been serving as a place for entertainment, relaxation, social activity and other leisure needs. Several operational recreational facilities were selected as case study. This study adopted a mix research method, which includes qualitative and quantitative technique for the collected data, the international case studies chosen was selected for their architectural merits, information richness, building material choice, proper planning of the facilities, artificial natural environment styles, inclusive design and quality of the facility available. A comparative analysis which was drawn from the entire study helped to complete the journal article and design. The study revealed that numerous factors were considered before the development of a recreational facility, factors like technology, proper planning, safety of users. Crowd management strategies such as proper site planning layout, clear sight lines, appropriate material and spatial arrangement was used to enhance crowd management and safety in this facility. The study recommends that Architects and designers in building and construction must have a good understating of how recreational facilities are being planned, to help avoid traffic congestion, accidents and insecurity in this proposed recreational facility. The researcher concluded that the study has provided solutions by enhancing crowd management and safety in a recreational facility in oguta, imo state Nigeria.},
