Davao City is one of the highly urbanized cities in the Philippines with the largest population. Apart from the challenges of rapid urbanization, drastic changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic affected the accessibility and use of urban green spaces (UGS), particularly in urban areas where cases are increasing rapidly, and residents face difficult situations. The study seeks a better understanding of UGS and how access and use of these places can contribute to the welfare of urban residents through its effects on physical and mental health. 131 respondents participated in the online survey alongside 4 key informants from different sectors. Data collection used GIS mapping, Google Forms, electronic mail, and social media platforms. Results show that there are twenty-six government owned UGS in the city, twenty of which are public parks. The majority were clustered in the central business district. Park features preferred by the residents focus on natural assets, spacious grounds, and child- and PWD-friendly facilities. Findings show that access and use of public parks lead to desirable physical and mental health outcomes. It indicates that the accessibility and use of such UGS positively affect people’s well-being and have a significant contribution to sustainable development.
