The aim of the research was to show the importance of preserving parks in city of Karlovac and to raise public awareness of the need for planting trees after construction works. In a survey conducted from 22 April to 21 September 2018. the surface temperatures of the sunny grassy surface, the sunny asphalted surfaces, the shaded grassy surfaces under the trees with the current air temperature in hot and warm days with clouds <50% were compared. The study was conducted according to the GLOBE protocol for surface temperature measurement. The results are shown graphically in months from April to September with selected hot and warm days when cloudiness was <50%. The research has shown that the current air temperature is lower than the surface temperature of the sunny grassy surface. The surface temperature of the sunny asphalt surface is higher by 10ºC than the surface temperature of the grassy shaded place below the deciduous or evergreen tree in all hot and warm days with clouds <50%.
