Abstract: This paper selects 23 recreational spaces in Shanghai as the analysis object. It evaluates the accessibility development level of recreational spaces in Shanghai from the perspective of local residents taking public transport as the main travel mode, taking into account the surrounding facilities, and using python programming language and ArcGIS software. The accessible area of each recreational space within 30 minutes accounts for 5.79%–7.12%, and the accessible area within 240 minutes accounts for 46.37%–56.95%. The spatial form of accessibility of each recreational space can be summarized into four structural types: circle branch, asymmetric circle branch, ellipse axis and multi center circle. The average time for recreational people to reach the 23 recreational spaces in the study area is 127.05 minutes, and from more than 50% of the area, people can reach any recreational space within 4 hours. The walking index of recreational facilities around Lujiazui is the highest; a cluster of recreational facilities has not been formed in the recreational space in the peripheral areas, and the walking index is low. Taking into account the obvious difference in the comprehensive accessibility of surrounding facilities, the high score recreational spaces are concentrated in the central area of the city, and the low score ones are distributed in the peripheral areas with low walking indexes. Discussion on public transport accessibility of urban recreation spaces involving surrounding facilities has deepened the understanding of the balanced distribution of recreation spaces.
