Rapid urbanization has led to increased concern about the psychological effects of living in dense urban environments with limited access to nature. This study investigated the relationship between exposure to urban green spaces (parks, gardens) and residents’ psychological well-being. A cross-sectional design was employed, recruiting 200 adult participants from a major metropolitan area. Participants completed the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) and reported their average weekly time spent in green spaces. Residential proximity to the nearest major park was also measured using GIS mapping. Results indicated a significant positive correlation between time spent in green spaces and mental well-being scores (r = .45, p < .001). Furthermore, ANOVA revealed that participants living within 500 meters of a major park reported significantly higher well-being (M = 52.1, SD = 6.3) than those living between 500-1000 meters (M = 48.7, SD = 5.9) or over 1000 meters away (M = 45.2, SD = 7.1), F(2, 197) = 15.89, p < .001. These findings support the theory that access to and use of urban green spaces are key contributors to psychological health, with implications for urban planning and public health policy.
