In order to more accurately reflect the influence of actual traffic conditions on the accessibility of parks in small and medium-sized cities in China,this research used Gaoming District of Foshan City as the study area,analyzing the accessibility characteristics and differences of various travel modes of major parks in the based on GIS network analysis method. The results show that:Firstly,the accessibility of parks in the study area is not good generally. The accessibility of parks in Xijiang area in the east is higher,which decreases westward and is closely related to the distribution of park green space and road network. Secondly,park-accessible service scopes and populations are better served by cars and buses than by walking and cycling. Thirdly,no matter choosing what mode of travel,there are still more than 60% park service blind spots in the study area,and about 20% residents can't enjoy better park services. Finally,traffic congestion directly affects the actual speed of cars and buses,which leads to the obvious reduction of the service scope and service population of the parks in the two modes of travel,especially during peak hours. Therefore,the accessibility of parks in small and medium-sized cities should take into account all kinds of travel modes,especially the accessibility of non-motorized traffic systems.
