This study is to verify the relationship among leisure motivations, leisure constraints, leisure skill and leisure participations. To achieve the goal of this study, A total of 377 questionnaires were sampled from people who climbed mountains in Northern Seoul(Dobong mountain), Southern Seoul(Cheonggye mountain), Gapyeong in Gyeonggi province(Yeonin mountain), Chuncheon in Gangwon province(Geombong mountain) for a month from October 20th 2014 to November 23rd 2014 by the purposeful sampling method. This research conducted frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, reliability verification, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation model with collected data using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 21.0. The results are as follows. First, leisure motivation does not influence leisure participation directly. Second, leisure motivation influences leisure skill. Third, leisure motivation influences leisure constraints negatively. Fourth, leisure skill influences leisure constraints. Fifth, leisure constraints do not influence leisure participation. Sixth, leisure skill influences leisure constraints negatively. Seventh, leisure skill does the mediator role in relationship between leisure motivation and leisure participation. Results are discussed with possible implications and suggestions for further research. First, leisure participants don't participate in leisure activities right after getting motivated, therefore, to make them participate more, it is necessary to develop leisure skills. Second, leisure skills, a leisure negotiation process by interaction between leisure motivation and leisure constraints, work as an important variable in leisure activities.
