Abstract
Urban green spaces play a crucial role in enhancing the urban living experience, extending beyond
their visual appeal. These spaces serve as vital components in fostering community well-being and
addressing complex challenges associated with rapid urbanization, pollution, and urban expansion.
The research's primary goal was to create a comprehensive tool for evaluating the quality of urban
green parks. Employing a mixed-method approach, the study conducted an in-depth literature
review to identify key dimensions and corresponding indicators essential for a thorough
assessment of urban green park quality. And also survey was carried out on three prominent parks
in Kathmandu Metropolitan City namely Balaju Park, Ratna Park, and Shankha Park. The
subsequent calculation of quality scores aimed to offer valuable insights into the overall quality of
these urban green spaces.
