Resumen
This research investigates urban parks accessibility in Cartagena, Spain. With an expand-ing urban population, urban green spaces are essential for physical and mental health. Using Geo-graphic Information Systems, the study assesses proximity and travel time to 24 urban parks, re-vealing that only 40% of Cartagena's residents live within 300 metres of a park and 58% within a 5-minute walk. The city falls short of WHO's recommended 9m2 of green space per inhabitant, offering only 3.3m2. These findings are vital for urban planning, aiding the city in better meeting WHO's green space guidelines and improving the well-being of its population.
