Urban parks play a key role in mitigating heat stress and improving outdoor thermal comfort, especially tropical subtropical cities. This study evaluates comfort Nuevo Bosque Park (Montería, Colombia) through multiperspective approach that combines perception surveys (n = 99), situ microclimatic measurements, spatial mapping. Surface temperatures ranged from 32.0 °C the morning to 51.7 at midday sun-exposed areas, while vegetated zones remained up 10 cooler. Heat Index (HI) Temperature–Humidity (THI) values confirmed severe stress, with HI reaching 32 THI peaking 55.0 some zones. Subjective responses showed 69.69% of users reported discomfort, areas impermeable surfaces little shade. In contrast, 90.91% respondents stated tree cover improved their experience. The results indicate strong correlation between vegetation density, surface type, users’ perceived comfort. Additionally, urban furniture location natural ventilation emerged as factors influencing sensation. integration objective subjective data has enabled identification risk informed evidence-based recommendations for climate-adaptive park design. offers practical insights sustainable planning climates, demonstrating importance assessments consider both human environmental conditions enhance resilience usability public spaces.
