Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic created significant changes to human social interaction and daily life worldwide. This, in turn, has affected many individuals' mental and physical health. This study uses a survey instrument to examine if proximity to green space affects self-reported mental health (H1), if accessing green spaces in general during the pandemic affects self-reported mental health (H2), and whether individuals perceived access to green spaces as more important to mental health during the pandemic than before (H3). The insights from this study may help guide future public health or land use policy and be a vital resource for planning.
