摘要
This study investigated urban park users' perceptions of why they use these spaces, how use affects their wellbeing, and the park qualities underlying those benefits. Interviews were conducted with 449 adult park users (M = 43.6 years old) in 20 parks across four cities in Quebec, Canada. Thematic analysis produced three themes describing global drives behind park use and its effect on wellbeing: Caring for self, Caring for children, and Caring for others. Users actively sought out hedonic wellbeing, namely through leisure, as well as eudaimonic wellbeing through connection to self or others. Implications for health promotion and urban planning are discussed.
