Abstract
⺠The cardiometabolic benefits of public open spaces characteristics were examined. ⺠Access to public open spaces was not related to cardiometabolic health. ⺠Larger, greener, and more active public open spaces were linked to better health. ⺠Psychological well-being did not contribute to the relationships. ⺠Health benefits of larger open spaces were partly explained by physical activity.
