N2 - Evidence suggest that greenspace use can be associated with children’s physical, mental, social health and well-being. Accordingly, contemporary children’s declining greenspace use prompts a need to understand the factors that affect frequency of use.

Parental concern and encouragement also predicted use, but less so. Child age and geography were the only demographic predictors for using greenspace almost every day.
