Neighborhood parks in Ahmedabad are often seen as spaces for recreation and leisure, but their relationship with the city’s daily movement patterns remains underexplored. Commuters—ranging from business professionals and field workers to students—navigate long distances between work,education, and transit points. Many of these individuals experience fragmented urban pauses, waiting in transitional spaces that are not designed for rest, work, or brief moments of comfort. These parks, embedded within the city’s fabric, hold potential to serve more than just recreational needs. Understanding their spatial relationship with commuter movement can help in redefining their role in urban life beyond static green spaces.
