ENThe Lithuanian protected areas system includes two types of regional parks: traditional (standard), with strongly expressed environment protection profile, and historical, oriented towards cultural property protection. However, there is no validated recreational profile of regional parks, which would be designed mostly for aesthetic resources of landscape. Recently, it has become especially difficult to maintain the scenic landscape areas, as savage capitalism is not under control. The recreational protected areas establishment and management experience in the advanced countries, such as the USA and Great Britain, was specially analysed and the distribution of the areas of this type over the world also was examined. The article also highlights the place of regional recreational parks in the national protected areas system and the use of the existing recreational regional parks in Lithuania. The possible areas are suggested in choosing more perspective new territories and the major organizational issues that are critical in terms of new protected areas in the system of Lithuania’s protected areas are discussed.
