The role of parks at the community and city level is vital to improve the inhabitants' social, physical, and psychological health.These spaces serve the purpose of recreation and leisure for the residents and are used for organizing various public functions.Public spaces are either shrinking or less accessible at an alarming rate in today's era of rapid urbanization.The lack of such spaces is destructive to urban life.It has been observed that in Peshawar, various large and small-scaled parks are dispersed within the city fabric.These spaces are not used to the fullest, due to many reasons, including location and accessibility.The physical location and spatial configuration majorly measure the frequency of use.Therefore, in different phases of urban planning and design, 'presence of' and 'accessibility to' urban parks are highly recommended.This paper aims to study accessibility measures to public parks, analyze them with space syntax, and cross-validate the results through users' responses."Space Syntax Analysis" helps provide information about the suitable routes or streets in the city to approach the urban parks in terms of accessibility.
